Robin Carnahan had better name-recognition around the state, simply because of her last name.

Also, Catharine Hanaway was a FANTASTIC Speaker of the House and had the back-bone to stand up to Gov. Holden and the Dems. She received a lot of coverage in the capital city area, but very little in the rest of the state. Had Ms. Hanaway received fair (or, any) reporting of her actions in the legislature, I believe she would have won, despite Ms. Carnahan's name-recognition. Alas, the news media knew the citizenry would support Ms. Hanaway, and since they didn't like her (conservative) positions, they simply didn't report much.

I saw her TV ads on the Springfield TV channels and thought they were powerful. She also spoke at one of the Camden County functions I attended last fall while Blunt didn't do much campaigning in the area. I frankly thought at first she was running for governor and was very suprised when Blunt won the top job. Just goes to show that you can't ask me about Missouri politics. I've only lived here four years.
