Senator Jean Carnahan has responded to the Republican campaign advertisements that target her over her decision to oppose the economic stimulus package favored by President Bush. Carnahan says she’s greatly disappointed by the negative advertisements, and she calls on former Congressman Jim Talent – her Republican opponent in the U.S. Senate race – to instruct his party to stop airing the ads. Carnahan says she is a strong advocate for an economic stimulus bill, adding she supported the version she felt offered the best hope for helping workers and small businesses.
