Robin Carnahan and Lacy Clay seen meeting in CWE

Recently-declared candidate for Senate Robin Carnahan and St Louis Congressman Lacy Clay were seen (and by "were seen," I mean "I saw them") in an early-morning breakfast meeting in the Central West End today. With them was a female staffer of no clear affiliation. It can reasonably be assumed that the meeting in part addressed the two politicians' 2010 plans. The three left together, Carnahan, then the staffer, and then Clay.

Will one make a statement about the other shortly? Maybe. Some have suggestesd that Clay might also have designs on the seat to be vacated by Kit Bond. Carnahan may be trying to knock down some hurdles before her most daunting primary competition can set them up.  

Will the Carnahan family dynasty be able to muscle the Clay family dynasty into stepping aside?

Stay tuned.
