Saw a political commercial on TV this morning.

Barry Switzer endorsed Askins.

I can't help but remember that Henry was supposed to get beat by Largent but lost and not a few Okies attributed that in no little part to Switzer's endorsement of Henry.

Okies and their football heroes. Got me a little worried here that we may wake up next Wednesday morning with an uber liberal tool of the socialist wing of the demonrat party as our new governor.

Which would be much much better than your alternative. :thumb:

I'm still undecided so I asked Jari via facebook about open carry. Open carry is not my primary concern, but one of them.

I thought I was being direct in my question, but here is her vague response:

She says she supports open carry laws?

But...

But...

She was one of the very few state legislators to vote against concealed carry in OK before it became law...

I'm not shy and if a member of congress can call the president a liar in an open forum then by GOD I can shout out:

Jari Askins - YOU LIE!

Of course one cannot hold that against her. After all she is a politician and lying is a fundamental aspect of the job and part of the job description.

Nope, I won't hold that against her.

Nope.

The hell I won't!

Sooner Poll commssioned a study regarding why Askins beat Edmundson in the Democratic primary. It's an interesting article and well worth the read.

However, what I found most interesting is the connection between Oklahoma Voters who strongly support Obama and Askins:

Primary voters who strongly support Obama were more likely to prefer Askins over Edmondson with few undecided, while voters who strongly oppose Obama were evenly split with about a third in favor of Askins, about a third in favor of Edmondson and about a third undecided.

The OK Democratic Primary Election - An Analysis

PDF of the Analysis with charts and graphs

That's telling. There's little doubt that regardless of what the mainstream media wants us to believe that Obama is a died in the wool socialist. Those who support him at the very least lean toward being socialists themselves. The fact that in OK those dems who strongly support Obama were more likely to support Askins than the less left leaning Edmundson is a strong indication that whether Askins leans far to the left or not at least the leftist Oklahoma voter believes she does.

Just one more nail in her lefty coffin.

Well I hope people don't put to much stock in these polls and forget to go vote.
Good advice there.

As for me if Brogdon which was my first choice comes out and supports her then, to me that is good advice. We have had a Demo in office far to long and maybe a Rino could do a little better. The problem we have is we dont hold their feet to the fire sort of speaking. We vote and bang that is it. Maybe Fallin is what we need.

Though the second admiendment issues are important to me, I dont trust any of them as far as I can throw them.

I like what someone else said, just hold your nose and just vote. :giveup:

I have never ever voted straight ticket in my life but it certainly looks like I may be voting strictly Republican this time. Problem is, like many of you it seems to me that we are looking at different sides of the same coin when it comes to our choices.

All I know is that I hear a lot about what goes on behind the scenes and I am not happy AT ALL with our Democratic constituents right now. I cannot imagine that Jari will be any better at being Gov. than she has been at being Lt. Gov.
