Claire vs. Carly

By C.J. JANOVY

Who did better on Meet the Press yesterday morning: former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, or Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill? Here’s a transcript.

Tom Brokaw called it “a historic Meet the Press moment, the first time that we’ve had two women who are acting as surrogates for the two national campaigns.” I call it an overall disappointing performance by McCaskill, who too often answered Brokaw’s questions with talking points rather than the trademark candidness that earned her fans during the primary season.
