Get on the train, progressive ‘critters. It’s leaving the station, with courageous fellow members like Emanuel Cleaver II at the helm. You don’t want to get left behind, because we will remember who you are.

All aboard!

The democratic field is clear for Robin Carnahan, the current Secretary of State and the daughter of Mel Carnahan (who defeated John Ashcroft two weeks after Carnahan died) and Jean Carnahan (who was appointed to fill the seat), is going to take on whomever the GOP nominates.

Cleaver is my rep, and also a minister. I’m wondering if some of the religious ads have had an effect on him.
