They are alive and well...even in OK.
We call him Gov. DoNothing.......
Istook is a horrible candidate for OK Governor. But then I have been saying that for months. You should have seen our primary where OK GOP decided kumbyka was the name of the game and you were not allowed to go after Istook.
His campaign staff is one of the most inept if not the worst I have seen in all my years being around campaigns. Going in his office makes you come out talking to yourself because most don't have a clue. He hired his campaign staff from CA.
He is also Mormon and there is a lot of shall we say less than honorable info coming out on that.
As, I don't think you understand the particulars of OK politics......
Chances are slim to none. I have been telling people around here to get involved in the Lt Governor's race since the Lt Governor is head of the OK Senate and we need that seat.
I think Hiett can win but Istook winning would mean Dems not voting which could happen but I see absolutely no enthusiasm for Istook, but then I don't see a whole lot for Henry either.
Istook got very arrogant during the primary including at a debate saying he didn't want to answer that question right now when it was his turn.
I hope I am dead wrong except if Istook won and kept his staff from the campaign. As inept as Henry is, Istook's staff is worse.
Cripes. Shame on Ernest. What a disappointment.
What did you think of that Istook ad? I received it in my email and was not impressed.
Spill the beans.
How can that possibly be....?
Well maybe I understand it...cause Henry is such an empty-headed suit...any staff would seem brillant next to him.
FWIW-
WOW! Istook is ahead according to that poll.
Is it a valid poll?
Just as valid as any other poll....the only poll that matters is in NOVEMBER (election day)!
GOOD news then. Thanks.
Thanks for the clarification. I don't follow OK politics much, just assumed it would be GOP.
That is a phoney poll run by his campaign staff. They only polled in the 5th District in precincts where they knew they would get results they wanted. The whole area knows it was a phoney poll because it has been posted everywhere. They did the same thing in the primary and why one of our Congressmen told Istook to lose his pollster.
The reporter at Red State is a member of the Istook campaign staff who was outed on one of the OK sites.
I asked if it was valid.
RM -- that is not a valid poll.
That was a phoney poll outed as being done by Wilson who is on his staff. His people outed the poll when they explained it was done in the 5th district in certain precincts. Same thing as the primary.
Why don't you concentrate on Hiett because we have a chance to take that seat and we really need it. Posting from Red State reporter from Istook office a phoney poll doesn't change reality.
It didn't seem very memorable, I remember the line from Henry's ads. -"There's the Washington way and then there's the Oklahoma way"
This was on while Rush Limbaugh was playing and I'm hearing a 5-1 ratio of Henry to Istook ads. Istook's being swamped by Henry, the polls don't surprise me.
Henry's ads on the radio remind me of Don Nickle's ads the last time he ran.
Cannot get over that Istook or OK GOP never answer back or go on the offense against Henry. You can hear the crickets chirping from the two camps.
All polls are phoney....untill the ballots are counted.
