A new radio spot and billboard focus on McCaskill's Planegate fiasco from earlier this year. McCaskill had used public funds to pay for some campaign trips that she and her husband took on a plane they owned. Making that revelation even more damaging was that the couple owed more than a quarter-million dollars in back taxes on the plane. She has since paid up. American Crossroads put up the billboard above at the Springfield Airport and Lambert St. Louis International Airport.
The radio ad has a Dragnet theme, with a detective interrogating McCaskill at the Springfield Airport as she stands by "a fancy private jet." As the Joe Friday type grills the senator, her responses are old clips of her saying things like, "I made a huge mistake" and "I want to be held accountable." Listen below.
PoliticMO reports that a new poll has McCaskill edging all Republican challengers, but beating former State Treasurer Sarah Steelman by just a single point.

I always go back to her " I DON'T UNDERSTAND" comment at the town hall meetings over HealthCare statement as her moment of truth ! (71% of Missourians don't want "obamacare" and SHE voted FOR it )
The plane thing is minor compared to her endorsment of Obamacare...She is O...U...T...OUT in my book
Seems so easy to forget what she has done for Missouri when republicans are pointing the finger. I guess flight attendants that lost their jobs from one company that have opportunity because of Claire McCaskill is no big deal. Or, maybe since the republicans like outsourcing our jobs over seas and thereby destroying our Country's tax base and our way of life, that she stands against these things would never get Carl Roves attention huh?
Along with her how many other's ,bet there is alot more doing it but why bother, she should of been fired!!!!!!!
No politician should be able cough up a 1/4 mil at the drop of a hat. That reeks, dem OR repub.
Does anyone know what the tax rate is on bribes....er um campaign contributions?
