We also took back a Corporation Commission seat from the Dems the “popular” governor of OK appointed. The only reason he won reelection is the Republicans here shot themselves in the foot nominating Ernest Istook. He was elected to Congress with big numbers but most people didn’t know he was Mormon. As soon as it came out, he was beat in the general election almost 2-1.
We picked up Senate and House seats in the OK Legislature this time. A Dem Senate member who switched from GOP to Dem because in 2006 she didn’t like how she was treated in her run for Governor was defeated.
We have counties with very few Republicans that went for McCain because Obama was too liberal for most Dems. Still don’t understand the Dems nominating the liberal Rice with Soros consultants to oppose Sen Inhofe. It failed.
Our houses are affordable, have less then 4% unemployment, and we are solid conservatives! I get the feeling the NY Times thinks we are racist. I prefer to see it as the residents of the Sooner state can recognize a socialist like Obama and won’t vote for him.

I thought your rally cry was “own the center” - that doesn’t sound very conservative to me.
Nobody was going to dislodge Henry in ‘06. Istook I’m surprised even decided to give up a safe seat to do a kamikaze run. I wouldn’t be so harsh towards him.
Okies are so racist that they elected a black Republican congressman (J.C. Watts) who served four terms. Oh, wait he’s a Republican. He’s not really black. The Dems would just toss Oreos at him like they did to Michael Steele.
Hi, do you mean that Ernest Istook lost the race for governor overwhelmingly in 2006 because he is Mormon (former Baptist)? Or were there other factors that I have forgotten? Would Romney have won OK in your opinion?
Be prepared. Soros spent a fortune to take Colorado and he is coming after AZ, lots of money spent trying to defeat our congressmen this time, and he will turn his sights on OK, too.
