According
to a Democratic source, the Missouri Coordinated Campaign had a budget
of $4 million dollars and more than 80 employees in 26 offices across the
state. (An AP report said the Democratic campaign had about 76 people
and 25 field offices). However, after the St. Louis debate both the
Democratic and Republican campaigns shifted much of their resources out
of Missouri to other states. For the Democratic campaign the DNC pullout
caused a week or so of disruption, but a reduced staff, including many
with Missouri origins, carried on, and the McCaskill campaign helped fund
what was left.
