So Much For Unity

(AP) Secretary of State Robin Carnahan, a Democrat, is considering a run for governor. Carnahan planned to seek re-election but a spokesman says she began thinking about a gubernatorial bid after Gov. Matt Blunt, a Republican, announced he would not run for a second term.

Attorney General Jay Nixon is so far the only Democrat to declare his candidacy for governor.

The filing period for candidates for state offices opens in Feb. 26 and runs for a month.
Campaign spokesman Tony Wyche says Carnahan received several calls urging her to run for governor. Wyche says she is taking time to think about it.

Robin Carnahan would be a far better candidate for Democrats. For a detailed analysis, see:
