Mr. Carnahan is a plodder, but his record shows little evidence of corruption. He hasn’t been as effective as Mr. Clay in bringing home the bacon to his constituents, but he hasn’t sold out his constituents, either. We choose the plodder over the pal of predatory profiteers.
— The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, endorsing Rep. Russ Carnahan (D) over Rep. Lacy Clay (D) in their primary battle with, to say the least, faint praise indeed.
