The tone of this article suffers from a snide sexism and a denial of voter agency that is characterisitc of conservative speak. Jean Carnahan is singled out for having won office because she was attached to a politically powerful man. Why there is no comparable reference to the father-daughter Murkowski team in the Senate? This article also suggest that the voters of Missouri somehow didn't understand that Mel Carnahan was dead when they voted.

Added in that she lost her Senate seat. Article implies she "left the senate" of her own volition.

The article already stated two sentences earlier that she ran as an incumbent in the 2002 special election but was defeated by Jim Talent. But don't think your edit hurts anything. TMS63112 02:56, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
