Conservative talk radio host Mark Levin endorsed Oklahoma Senate candidate T.W. Shannon Monday.
Shannon, arguably the most conservative House Speaker in Oklahoma's history, has been surging in the polls, propelled in part by former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's endorsement. Shannon trailed Rep. James Lankford (R-OK) by 35 points but has closed the gap to single digits in a poll taken four days after Palin's endorsement.
"I've taken a very close look at this race and have talked to a number of folks who know Shannon," Levin wrote on his Facebook page. "I want to join great conservatives, like my friend Sarah Palin, in endorsing Shannon for Senate in Oklahoma. Shannon is very impressive and, I believe, understands the dire situation facing the nation."
Levin and Palin have been leading the charge for conservatives against the ossifying Republican establishment, and Levin's endorsement is likely to earn Shannon even more of the trust of Republican primary voters in the nation's reddest state.
On Breitbart News Saturday, Shannon, who previously said Palin's endorsement brings more than money can buy, said that Palin's endorsement gave his campaign a "huge boost in the arm" because Oklahomans trust that Palin, who has a 78% favorability rating in Oklahoma, will back candidates who will go to Washington and fight against the permanent political class.
Levin emphasized that Shannon, who has said he wants to go to Washington not to be a manager who manages America's decline but to fight to turn the country around, gets the dire situation the country is facing.

Hopefully enough patriots will be elected to squash the enemies of America.
“...wants to go to Washington not to be a manager who manages America’s decline but to fight to turn the country around”
That’s exactly what Coburn is. He’ll tell you that.
Are you saying that Shannon is not walking the walk right now?
Since Mark Levin, whom I had great respect for, came out in favor of a Article Five Con, Con, I have listened to him.
No. I thought it was interesting that his choice of words seemed to be addressed at Coburn. I don’t know anything about him though I lived in Oklahoma until last June. I know Palin only endorses moderates if they’re women running against a man, or if it’s a payoff like in the case of McCain. I also know that Randy Brogdon is running. He’s a 10th amendment warrior and an advocate of nullification.
