Roy Blunt kicking himself for offering to debate Robin Carnahan a bunch of times

When U.S. Rep. Roy Blunt (R-K Street) looks at the polls that like his chances of becoming a senator, he can taste his foot in the back of his mouth.

Blunt will participate in only two debates with his opponent, Robin Carnahan (D-Legacy), retreating from an earlier suggestion to give Missourians all the rhetorical tangling they could ever want or need. In early August, Blunt told Carnahan that he was up for a six-match beat-box and deficit-elimination contest.
