Jean Carnahan may have written about it, as well as lived it, but Robin Carnahan coined the praiseworthy title, and the fire is burning a hole in Roy Blunt's bumpy road to the US Senate.

Roy Blunt's political machine is all fired-up about Secretary of State's Robin Carnahan evoking the memory of her Father on the10th anniversary of the death of Governor Mel Carnahan.

During the funeral, in an emotional tribute to her late Father, Robin Carnahan pledged that her family would "Not let the fire go out," a reference to a continuation of the Carnahan pledge to the people of Missouri for fare and just representation in government.

In my opinion, Secretary Carnahan has every right to reference a phrase she coined in October 2000, and needs to emphasize what a personal commitment she and her family have had to the citizens of Missouri

And Roy Blunt, didn't his son Matt Blunt become Governor of Missouri, only to get caught up in some sort of Email scandal? I remember seeing a bumper sticker that read: VOTE OUT ROY - AND HIS LITTLE BOY. Looks like one is down, with one to go.

Roy Blunt has no right to get fired-up in this election. Roy Blunt just needs to be FIRED!

Thanks for the inspiration Jean, we'll just have to see what the people say in November.

I'm a huge admirer of Jean Carnahan. What a woman! She stepped out of the "shadows" into the light at the worst time of her life and we are all the richer for it. She states immediately that this book isn't a sad one. No, it isn't, but that doesn't mean that I didn't shed a few tears while reading it. She has a wonderful gift for storytelling and I found myself laughing out loud many, many times. Most of all, I'm uplifted by her strength and courage. Her life is proof that, no matter your age, life can begin again after devastating tragedies and triumph. You go, girl! I highly recommend this book.

outstanding book by a phenomenal writer and storyteller. recommended to anyone looking for inspiration by someone who has overcome the most terrible tragedy.
