Who is this guy, and does he stand a better chance in the general then the other candidates?

"Who is this guy, and does he stand a better chance in the general then the other candidates?"

---

Dr. Tom Coburn was a Congressman from Eastern Oklahoma (the most Democratic part of the state) from 1995 to 2001; he had limited himself to three terms, and thus did not run for reelection in 2000. He is a true conservative, and one who can appeal to the conservative Democrats that decide elections in Oklahoma. And because his political base is in the same area as Democrat Senate candidate Brad Carson (who replaced Coburn in Congress), it would make it practically impossible for Carson to get enough votes to win the general election. Dr. Coburn would make a great Senator, and luckily for us he's also our best possible candidate. I hope GOP primary voters in Oklahoma realize this and help Dr. Coburn keep Senator Nickles' seat in GOP hands.

Dr. Coburn has excited and energized the conservative grass roots in Oklahoma. I think that because of that, he's the slight favorite in the primary and tough candidate in the general. Kirk Humphreys is a good mayor, but he's fallen victim to an anti-OK City sentiment in the rural areas. Furthermore, his focus on economic developement has made him seem lukewarm about the social issues, and other voters find him to be too urbane. Coburn is a forthright and outspoken conservative who tells it like it is, and has a following in the most 'Rat part of the state.
