Boom!
So let’s see here..
TW has the support of..
Sarah Palin, Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, Mark Levin, Senate Conservatives Fund and Citizens United.
Lankford, his opponent, has the Huckster backing him.
I know which one I’m supporting!! TW!!!!!
Let me tell you what is ridiculous about this entire race. All of the Shannon supporters are so busy trying to paint Lankford as an establishment guy, but Shannon was involved in politics at the age of 28. Shannon was Speaker at the age of 35. Am I supposed to believe that the guy who has Mike Huckabee as one of his few supporters is the establishment guy, or should I believe that the career politician with a list of endorsements that include the entire Republican establishment is the establishment guy? How much control do you think that Mike Huckabee has?
Why is T.W. Shannon skipping debates? Already there have been several debates, but Shannon is running scared and has had a whole crop of “scheduling conflicts” spring up.

Furthermore, whenever Shannon does show up for a debate like he did today, he doesn't offer any clash with the other candidates.
Finally, and I'm taking this argument from elsewhere, but during Shannon's first six years as a legislator he presented bills on the Floor of the House of Representatives 27 times. 14 of those bills were acted on without any debate or discussion. Of the remaining 13 bills, 12 had questions asked and 3 bills were debated. This means that Shannon stood on the floor of the House slightly less than 4 minutes in debate and 11 minutes answering questions over a 6 year period.

Shannon hasn't even been doing his job on the floor of the Oklahoma House of Representatives. We need a leader that's going to stand up and speak for Oklahoma - longer than 15 minutes over a 6 year period.
