Ahead of Oklahoma's June 24 GOP Senate primary, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Lee (R-UT), the top three conservative leaders in the nation, sent a letter asking Oklahomans to send conservative T.W. Shannon to the Senate over establishment Rep. James Lankford (R-OK), who will represent the status quo.
The Senate Conservatives Fund, which also made a statewide television buy on Shannon's behalf, distributed the letter that Shannon as a "principled leader who believes America must return to its founding principles."
"He understands that many Republicans in Washington have been too quick to cut deals with Democrats and too slow to follow the Constitution, which they swore an oath to support and defend," Palin, Lee, and Cruz write. "As the former Speaker, he can stand proud on his record of fighting for conservative legislation that directly benefited Oklahomans by lowering taxes, cutting government waste, and breaking the cycle of poverty by encouraging self-reliance as the proven path to prosperity."

Awesome!
Hot and smart. Palin.
I’m becoming more confident that Shannon will be the next Senator from Oklahoma. All the signs are pointing in his direction. There will likely be a runoff, but I’m not hugely worried about it.
Yep....the entire group is good looking....and smart ;)
BUMP!!!!!!!!!
right you are, Jane
may God bless these real Americans and may God bless Shannon with a victory.
Is RINO heartless amnesty pusher James Lankford 5th in House Leadership?
I notice Tom Cole is now against an immigration deal now they want to dump illegals in his district.
Since moving here from Texas, I have a hard time seeing how these two are different. Lankford seems a tad less ambitious (e.g., changing federal funding of education vs. getting rid of the DOE), but I don’t think that will functionally change the results.
Shannon has been a politician 3 years longer than Lankford, although at the state level.
If Shannon is more conservative than Lankford, it is by small degrees and I’m not sure why Cruz and Palin are backing Shannon so strongly, aside from something I am thinking that is deeply cynical.
I urge Borgdan supporters to realize their guy can’t win and vote for Shannon, don’t give Lankford an opportunity to win a runoff.
Brogdon, I mean.
