"it is my belief that having the right "look" will get you 5 points in an election"

Didn't I say that a few months ago? Are you stealing my material? : )

All kidding aside, Nickles has the "best look" of the bunch, followed by Carson and Coburn (had you included JC's picture, he would have been up there with Nickles). Istook does not look very "Senatorial," and it could certainly hurt him outside of his OKC base.

So does anyone know what Dr. Coburn is up to? Did he go back to his medical practice?

I live in Brad Carson's district. It was a SHOCK when Brad Carson took Tom Coburn's seat. How did it happen? Well, Tom Coburn backed Andy Ewing as his replacement. So of course, Republicans lined up behind him without paying much attention, at least I did. I didn't even worry about losing the seat, BUT WE DID! Andy Ewing was a terrible candidate and should never have been put up. We need Tom Coburn back if we are to retake Carson's seat.

Oklahoman's must put up the BEST candidate for Nickles senate seat. I don't care about who's turn it is, or whatever, I want the candidate that can WIN! I am very concerned about Carson taking this Senate seat.

Also, I would be VERY surprised if Drew Edmondson runs, as the Democrats won't allow the party to have a nasty primary that may cost them the election. Brad Carson is touted as the face of the NEW Democratic Party in Oklahoma and my local paper "The Claremore Progress" has already endorsed him for the Senate seat.

The OKGOP seems to be behind the ball. I just went to their website and they have NOTHING about Nickles retirement or the upcoming race.

The Democrats took the governorship away from us because Republicans got lazy and thought there was no way the Democrats could win, but they did. We must fight everyday to keep this Senate seat.
