It might be an uphill fight, but he knows a few things about Missouri politics, having twice helped run successful campaigns for his father, Senator Stuart Symington. Symington's replacement at State will be U.S. Ambassador to Spain Angier Biddle Duke, who held the protocol post for four years before going to Madrid...
