I am SOOO glad that Coburn won and Anthony, Humphries and Carson lost!
You and me both. Humphreys stopped by our Women's Club meeting the night that I heard Dr. Coburn announce on the radio. I was talking to his aide and asked if they had heard Dr. Coburn was getting in the race. Humphreys jumped in and basically said the more the better and he wasn't worried about Dr. Coburn getting in the race. He might as well said bring it on -- I have this nailed down.
Went home from the meeting and the next morning I called Muskogee and volunteered for Coburn. I vowed that night to work as hard as I could to get Dr. Coburn elected. Never made so many phone calls in my life and it was worth every one of those.
One of Humphreys' aides who I knew from a Congressional campaign in 2002 asked me why I went immediately to Coburn and I said one word "arrogance" from Humphreys. IMHO, he would have been someone who could be swayed where Dr. Tom is his own person and votes what is best for Oklahomans and this Country.
Best move I ever made to jump to Coburn right away -- met some of the neatest people from that campaign.
