Jim Talent in an exclusive Kansas City neighborhood, while hundreds of supporters and protesters aired their opinions nearby. The reception was held at the Georgian-style home of Scott Ward, co-president of Russell Stover Candies Inc., the country's third-largest chocolate company. It was expected to raise about $600,000 for Talent's campaign against Democratic candidate Claire McCaskill in the closely watched Missouri Senate race, said Talent spokesman Rich Chrismer.
