KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Democrat Ike Skelton is re-elected to a
16th term in the U-S House District in western Missouri.
Skelton -- the dean of the Missouri congressional delegation --
campaigned with yard signs that simply read, "IKE."
He faced 79-year-old Republican nominee Jim Noland for the
fourth straight time. This time, Skelton had something more than
his House seat at stake -- if Democrats regained a House majority,
Skelton stood to be elevated from ranking member to chairman of the
House Armed Services Committee.
