		Talent, who turns 46 this year, grew up in a middle-class family in suburban St. Louis, majored in political science at Washington University, followed that with a law degree from the University of Chicago in 1981 and clerked for Judge Richard A. Posner in Chicago.

	Online NewsHour: The Missouri Senate Race -- Jim Talent Biography
		In 1992, Talent set his sights on Washington, DC -- seeking a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives from Missouri's 2nd District, a region near St. Louis that holds some of the fastest-growing affluent suburbs in the country.
		During his years in Congress, Talent amassed a strong conservative voting record, supporting measures like a ban on "partial birth" abortions, the 1996 overhaul of welfare laws and a move to repeal the ban on certain types of assault weapons.
		Talent took his winning electoral record and voter-friendly image on the road once again in 2000, this time waging what many said was an issue-oriented campaign against Democrat Bob Holden - especially compared to the fire-and-brimstone Senate battle raging between Republican Sen. John Ashcroft and Democratic Gov. Mel Carnahan.

	NJDC's Blog: Jim Talent, Nazi Rhetoric, & Stem Cell Research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		As NJDC Blog has discussed, Senator Jim Talent (R-MO) has been misnavigating the stem cell issue for a while, flip-flopping to suit the contradictions of the modern GOP (socially moderate business people like modern science, traditional GOP base has serious qualms).
		Jim Talent has been telling reporters in recent days that he think the stem cell issue may end up being a net positive for his campaign because it will have the effect of mobilizing his base.
		So while Jim Talent is running TV ads claiming that he wants to bring people together, and not be disagreeable, he has his political allies out there give hateful speeches like this one.

	Midwest Values PAC \| Senator Jim Talent (Finally) Picks a Stem Cell Position
		Senator Jim Talent, in a re-election fight against Democrat Claire McCaskill, officially opposed a ballot measure that would safeguard early stem-cell research in Missouri.
		A straw-man argument can be a successful rhetorical technique (that is, it may succeed in persuading people) but it is in fact misleading, since the argument actually presented by the opponent has not been refuted.
		Talent has been anything but clear: “For four years, he voiced support for federal legislation that would ban all human cloning, including that used in early, or embryonic, stem-cell research … Then, on Feb. 10 as his re-election fight with McCaskill heated up, Talent stunned Missouri’s anti-abortion leaders by renouncing that support”
