After several days of flirting with a possible bid for the Governor’s mansion, Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan has decided to stay put:
“After careful consideration over the past several days, I have made the decision to run for reelection as Secretary of State,” Carnahan said in a statement. “Democrats have a great opportunity to change the direction of our state and refocus on issues that matter to Missouri families. I intend to work to help elect democrats at every level including doing all I can to help Jay Nixon become our next Governor. Over the past several years, we’ve accomplished a great deal in the Secretary of State’s office and I know we can continue to make a difference for Missourians.”
Nixon’s been running a hard race for quite some time, so I’m pretty pleased with this news. May the GOP primary be crowded and nasty!
Carnahan for Senate in 2010? Replace Kit Bond?
Carnahan has a bright future; she’s only 46. This demonstration of party loyalty should be remembered in her favor, whenever she does make a move for higher office.
