Missouri State Auditor's Race: Democratic Candidates

By Frank Morris

Kansas City, MO – Missouri State Auditor Claire McCaskill is leaving the post to run for the U.S. Senate. Two Democrats and five Republicans are vying for the seat. Tomorrow (August 4), a look at the crowded Republican primary. Today (August 3), we meet the Democrats. As KCUR's Frank Morris reports, the race is in some ways a contest of opposites.
