The late Gov. Mel Carnahan collected enough votes to beat out incumbent Republican Sen. John Ashcroft for the U.S. Senate seat from Missouri.http://archives.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/11/07/senate.missouri/

Ashcroft was winning until Carnahan died, then the left decided to capitalize on his death (sorta like Wellstone) and pull the stunt getting his wife installed.
