Rusty Carnahan, scion of a powerful Missouri political family, is seeking the second highest office in the state.  Amazing that a back bencher, with an undistinguished career in Congress who was blown out in his last race to defeat an incumbent African American congressman from his own party, would embark upon this path instead of […]
