I once had sympathy for Carnahan, but she voted AGAINST Ashcroft's nomination to AG. Consider the following:
1) Ashcroft was good enough to be MO's State Attorney
2) Ashcroft was good enough to be MO's Governor
3) Ashcroft was good enough to be MO's Senator
4) Ashcroft was magnanimous in conceeding to Carnahan in 2000 when he could of challenged the election of a dead man (something not in the state laws)
When Carnahan listened to Daschle, Reed, and Hillary and voted against a son of MO on partisan grounds after all that he has done and his qualifications, I say good riddence to her!
Don't let the door hit you in the a@@ on the way out Mrs. Carnahan!
