Democratic Governor Mel Carnahan of Missouri narrowly defeated Republican incumbent John Ashcroft to take his Senate seat.

The problem?

Carnahan died in a plane crash a month ago. His widow will be serving in his stead.

Is it just me, or does this remind anyone else of that 80's movie, "Weekend at Bernie's" ?

Mr. Stiff Goes to Washington. LOL.

I wonder what his stand on gun-control is?

Just goes to show how in tune the American public is with the election. No wonder a crook like Bush got voted in.

"Mrs. Carnahan, what is your husband's position on aviation safety?"

"Let's see. F...U...C... um, Mr. Chairman, Mel is still in a 'snit' about the plane crash. Let's ask him when he's feeling more well-adjusted to the afterlife."

"Oh...yes, yes of course. Forgive us."

What are you guys so surprised about?

I live in Chicago. Dead people have been voting here for years, so it's about time a dead guy got elected.
