Some governors who have been elected to the Senate have found it a disappointing experience. One day you're a chief executive; next you're a powerless freshman. But Mel Carnahan was hopeful. A few weeks before his death last week in a private plane crash, Carnahan told Time that he enjoyed serving in Missouri's statehouse and that he "revered" his late father, who served in Congress from 1945 to 1960. "I would like to go there and do my own version of what he did," Carnahan said...

(Ashcroft's campaign immediately pulled all its advertising in deference to the tragedy...
Friends of Mel Carnahan, the story today goes, say the governor would have wanted the debate to go on, and so it will. George W. Bush canceled a 9:30 a.m. appearance at nearby Webster University, but after discussions between the campaigns and the Commission on Presidential Debates, the word was that everything else would proceed as scheduled...
