| Description: "He's for corporate bailouts and I'm not. He's for wasteful ear-mark spending and I'm not. He's for privatizing social security, and I'm not." | |
Carnahan used much of her time to attacking Blunt's policies and Washington history--especially accusing him of taking money from lobbyists.
Blunt deflected her accusations, attacking instead President Barack Obama and what he saw as his "extremist" agenda.
