There’s been another low turnout special in OK and another win for the rats. Gee they have lots of legislative vacancies.
Senate district 34 in the Tulsa Suburbs, where the incumbent, Dan Newberry, resigned to take a job a paid better was narrowly taken yesterday.
Rats are making hay about how well Trump did there, won by 34 points. But I note that the departed incumbent held the seat at the same time be only 16. Prior to Newberry the seat was held by RINO traitor Nancy Riley, who switched to the rats after losing the primary for LT Governor in 2006, he kicked her ass in 2008.
House District 76, next door to the seat lost earlier in the year, was held by the GOP by 2-1.
The GOP also held Senate District 45 in OK City, the previous incumbent, Kyle Loveless, resigned amidst a financial scandal. This was a key hold, the rats must have wanted that one.
But more bad news they had another House special win last month I failed to note, House district 46, Norman (but not containing the damn university), they took by a 20 point margin. The Pajama boy looking rat had lost by the same margin in 2016, the incumbent resigned to take a job that paid more.
The Special election for the Panhandle Senate seat, # 27, is in February. The previous incumbent is the dude that groped a (female) uber driver, allegedly. Better not lose that one. Hard to find a more Republican area.
I also must note that OK GOP issues with special elections predate the Trump Presidency, they lost Senate district 37 in January of 2016, it had been uncontested in 2014 or 2010 (last contested in 2006, 60-40 GOP), and wasn’t up last November.
Oklahoma Legislators need to stop committing crimes and quitting midterm to take private sector jobs.
I’ve heard that Governor Fallin isn’t very popular. I even read somebody today call her “Brownback South.” Got me on what’s going on down there, but apparently some voters aren’t happy.
