Danforth on NPR today
Via Fix, Former Senator Danforth will be on "Fresh Air" today. For those of us who are the KSHE 95 types, that's FM 90.7 at noon.
Any chance of Danforth running against Talent. I mean, I know he's a republican but he is making more sense now than Claire. At least I know what he stands for.
Danforth, Moderate Independent For Senate in 06.

Posted by Dr. Slice on Wed., Jun 29, 2005 at 10:40 AMHow about a new face? Jeff Harris is smart and liberal. I've seen Mike Sanders' name around too. He's a prosecutor and would be tough to run against.
Posted by BiggestMoDem on Wed., Jun 29, 2005 at 11:35 AMI caught a significant portion of the show. Danforth was a much needed shot in the arm for my feeble attempts to keep an open mind about political parties. (If only Terry Gross could be so balanced.)
If you are so inclined to listen:

I heard just a bit of Danforth a few days back on KTRS. I'm not sure who was doing the interview, but he (the interviewer) did a *terrible* job. The interviewer was trying to goad Danforth into some sensational type statements while being warm and amusing at the same time. The interviewer failed miserably on both accounts.
