I will see if I can get a reaction out of my two Senators from Oklahoma.

Did find this gem:

Of the nine new members of the Senate, seven are pro-life. The new pro-life senators are Mel Martinez of Florida, Johnny Isakson of Georgia, David Vitter of Louisiana, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, Jim DeMint of South Carolina, and John Thune of South Dakota. All seven are Republican.

Overall, pro-lifers made a net gain of three votes in the Senate.

The closest election in the Senate won by a pro-lifer was a real nail-biter. Mel Martinez defeated pro-abortion Betty Castor (D) in Florida, receiving 49% to Castor's 48%. Out of 7,410,852 votes cast, Martinez won by only 83,582.

OT: "Mel Martinez defeated pro-abortion Betty Castor (D) in Florida"

Pro-abortion Betty Castor's daughter, Kathy Castor (D), defeated the Republican candidate to replace Jim Davis in the U.S. House of Representatives.
