ST. LOUIS, April 8, 2009 -- Winfield, Missouri, Mayor Harry Stonebraker has scored a landslide victory, from his grave in the ultimate political comeback.
Voters in the small town re-elected Winfield to a fourth term Tuesday, about a month after his death.
Ballots had already been printed and absentee voting was already underway when Stonebraker died of a heart attack.
He won easily in Tuesday's general election with 206 votes, or 90 percent.
Alderman Bernie Panther got the other 23 votes.
The election recalled Missouri's 2000 U.S. Senate race.
Democrat Mel Carnahan died in a plane crash just weeks before the November election, but still defeated incumbent Republican John Ashcroft.
Aldermen will appoint a mayor to serve until a special election.

died of a heart attack just weeks before elections
yalateef. here today, gone tomorrow...It seems as if one fails to conceive
The meaning my name strives to achieve
To a biological form you cannot relate-
Because a reproductive cell is a gamete not gamate!
It means to unite, -to become consolidated
So without me in a.com, is there hope we'd be amalgamated?
