Carnahan's Son in Race for Gephardt Seat

[CatWoman]

ST. LOUIS - Russ Carnahan, son of the former Missouri governor killed in a plane crash while running for the U.S. Senate four years ago, won the Democratic nomination for the House seat being vacated by Dick Gephardt (news - web sites) in Tuesday's election.

His sister, Robin Carnahan, was unopposed in her bid for the Democratic nomination for secretary of state.

With all precincts reporting, Russ Carnahan led a crowded field with 24,500 votes, or 23 percent, advancing to face a Republican who twice lost to Gephardt in the St. Louis-area 3rd District. He edged out Jeff Smith, a Washington University political science lecturer, who had 22,767 votes or 21 percent of the total.
