Well it was obviously a sympathy vote as Jeane Carnahan only served 2 years and was voted out the next election cycle. Plus Ashcroft pretty much had to suspend campaigning for decorum. This criticism is totally invalid.
While we're on the subject of Ashcroft, I am struck by the irony of many a anti-PATRIOT act thread juxtaposed with many anti-spammer threads where it seems the majority are all for Eeevil Ashcroft going after "free speech." -- "Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it.
