“I also really take issue winking at Lankford’s endorsement from Huckabee. Yeah, I get it that Free Republic isn’t especially fond of Huckabee, but Lankford has also been endorsed by a huge portion of the OK State Senate (Republican controlled), Trey Gowdy, and others.”
This is why Huckabee endorsed Lankford. Because of his pathetic conservative record. He’ll be a go-along type.
Lankford 75% (Average) 83% (Heritage) 80% (ACU) 70% (CFG) 68% (FreedomWorks)
This still dodges the point that Shannon has rarely showed up to vote this session, and almost never speaks on the floor of the Oklahoma House. There’s nothing more typical of a “go-along” politician than someone who doesn’t do their job.
I’m not personally thrilled about the Huckabee endorsement either, but some of the pro-Shannon guys I’ve seen seem to think that is the most important nail in Lankford’s coffin.
