5. Mel Carnahan of Missouri

Melvin Eugene "Mel" Carnahan (February 11, 1934 � October 17, 2000) was an American politician. A Democrat, he served as the 51st Governor of Missouri from 1993 to 2000. He died in a plane crash on the Pevely and Hillsboro, Missouri border during a campaign for the U.S. Senate, after which he was elected posthumously to the office.

I remember supporters had "I'm still with Mel" buttons up to the election.
