LETTERS: HOLDEN IN TOUCH WITH MISSOURIANS, BEST CANDIDATE

To the editor:

You got one thing right in your recent endorsement of Jim Talent: Bob Holden didn't sound like a Washington politician. When you call Talent "more articulate," I say he is actually a politician who is out of touch with Missouri.

As you pointed out, Holden is an honorable man who has spent his career with the people he is seeking to represent. He has been in touch with us in both a legislative position and especially as an exemplary member of Mel Carnahan's administration as state treasurer. I vote Missouri. I will happily vote for Holden, our best candidate for governor.
