Cheney to host Talent fundraiser

Published Thursday, September 1, 2005
WASHINGTON (AP) - Vice President Dick Cheney will host a major fundraiser for Sen. Jim Talent in September as the Missouri Republican gears up for a challenge from Democratic state Auditor Claire McCaskill.

Talent spokesman Rich Chrismer confirmed yesterday that Cheney would host the event in St. Louis on Sept. 19.

With about $3.4 million in his war chest, Talent already holds a sizable advantage over McCaskill. That includes more than $1 million from a June event that President George W. Bush attended in St. Louis.

With the race expected to garner national attention, both candidates could beat previous records for a U.S. Senate race in Missouri, said Terry Jones, a professor at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
