Missouri Dem Robin Carnahan Launches 2010 Senate Campaign
TPM Election Central —
Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan has now announced her candidacy for the 2010 Senate race, running for the seat that has been opened up by the retirement announcement of four-term Republican Kit Bond:
Carnahan, the daughter of the late Governor Mel Carnahan and former Senator Jean Carnahan, was essentially coronated by the state Democrats right after Bond announced his retirement a few weeks ago, but this makes it official. The GOP is still sorting out a wide field of potential candidates, none of whom have officially gotten in yet.

Roy Blunt, ex-Sen. Jim Talent, and ex-Treasurer Sarah Steelman eyeing the race), but a recent PPP poll shows her ahead of all of them. Her announcement video is here.
Rep. Paul Hodes is running for a seat that may or may not be open; it's still unclear who Gov. ...

RedState: Conservative News and Community —
Well, that didn’t take long. Yesterday I posted a diary on the upcoming 2010 race for the seat of retiring Senator Christopher “Kit” Bond.
