Missouri voters elected Mel Carnahan posthumously to the U.S. Senate over Republican incumbent John Ashcroft. Carnahan's wife, Jean, will be appointed by the governor to fill her husband's seat. For the first time, the wife of a sitting president has been elected to the U.S. Senate. Hillary Rodham Clinton survived a very nasty campaign to become a senator for New York. For those who love the Clintons, they will still be a force to reckoned with.
Every vote counts, but it's too close to call.
