McCaskill to Answer Ad Claims

Just hours before her third scheduled debate with Sen. Jim Talent in St. Louis, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate will hold a press conference in Kansas City to address the controversy surrounding a veterans ad run by her campaign.

The Claire McCaskill press conference will take place at 4:30 p.m. in Kansas City and feature Josh Lansdale and other veterans.

This is an attempt to weather a political firestorm over claims by "Josh" in an ad, that he had to wait 6 months for a doctor's appointment after returning from Iraq. Republicans have blasted the ads as "false."
