Coburn would win right now,easily.If Carson keeps up the attack ads he will win even bigger.

I'm feeling better about our position than I have in awhile. I think most of America is sick of them. I'm convinced that a lot of democrat voters haven't got a clue what it is they're voting for. It's our job to inform them whenever an opportunity presents itself.

Coburn is a kick-ass candidate. Carson has to make himself look like a conservative candidate because Bush is going to win your state by 25% give or take a few, so there aren't exactly Kerry coattails to ride. Besides, if Bush does get up around 60% on election night, it would take just a helluva lot of ticket splitting for Carson just to get close.

I'm usually wrong on predictions--it's why I don't make them often--but I believe that Coburn will win and a few eyebrows will rise around here as to how big his margin is. IOW, on election night, we MIGHT be expecting a close race by then, but when the numbers come in, I think we'll be pleasantly surprised.

Well .. remember something important. Whether Coburn likes it or not, Bill Frist will be giving him direction. But .. both of them being doctors, they may have a special rapore. That said .. I could see Frist taking advantage of Coburn's .. shall we say .. openness to speak his mind.

This would be an excellent working arrangement. Frist remains above the fray and Coburn gets to vent!! LOL!

I live in Oklahoma, and I've joined the Coburn campaign to knock on doors. Carson MUST BE DEFEATED.

Thanks for the ping to this--great pictures! I came home Saturday night after the OU game to find that my Coburn yard sign had been deliberately ripped on both sides, so that it flapped in the wind. I had to take it down, and need to get another one.
I don't know if it was just kids around the neighborhood, or someone with ideological motivations. The former I can understand, if not excuse. But I have this nagging feeling that it might have been the latter--really infuriating.

He's going to be a frickin' nightmare in the Senate [if he wins]."

I love it when lobbyists say things like that!

GO TOM GO!!!

Tom Coburn is great. I have his bumper sticker on our cars. But you gotta admit he has foot-in-mouth disease. If he wins, it is either:
-a miracle
-proof that Oklahoma is THE most conservative state in the Union.

"He's one of those '94 guys, and there were a certain percentage of them who were so anti-system that they don't want to play the game."

Translation: We can't bribe them with government largesse or campaign contributions.

Now, there is such a thing as being a team player and working with others. But there's also a point where you have to be your own man.

Sounds like a great song!

One of the many things I admire about Dr. Coburn is that he is absolutely fearless. He has had to fight off cancer. He is a Cincinnatus, willing to serve for a time in the Senate but intent on returning to his job of delivering babies. People in OK have done themselves proud just by nominating this fine candidate. Contrast the Okies with those awful Floridians who just reelected the euthanasia advocate "Judge" George W. Greer. There could be no greater contrast between two "Republicans" than Coburn and Greer. Still, I would not take his election for granted, for the forces of OK "darkness" will prevail against him in a mighty way come Nov. 2.
