Robin is a member of one of Missouri’s most esteemed political families. Her grandfather was a Congressman and an Ambassador. Her father, Mel Carnahan served as governor and won a seat for US Senate posthumously, after a plane crash during the election. Her mother was appointed to the Senate seat. Her brother is a US Congressman.

Secretary Carnahan spoke of the political wave that elected a progressive Democrat (Claire McCaskill) to replace John Ashcroft. And, she’d be a second progressive Democratic Senator is she replaces the retiring Senator Kit Bond.

Against the two current Republican also running, she’s polling +9pts over Roy Blundt and +12 pots over Sarah Steelman.
