Good Luck

I want to wish all those who have been elected to County or District Office for the Democratic Party the best of luck for the next two years. The same to those who will soon be elected at State. As one of the few active these days who have held all three levels of office, […]

Hold On!

Everybody better hold on to something tight as we get ready for 2009-between the whirlwind of decisions that the new Obama administration will be making to pull this country out of the ditch, and the flurry of activity at the new legislature where we will try to keep the Oklahoma GOP from putting us in […]

Here we go…

There was an anti-Obama letter to the editor in the Norman Transcript today…the only problem was the Obama “quote” on gun-control is false. As a former student of Prof. John George, who was a professional debunker of false quotes, I noticed it had all the typical elements of a false quote. A two minute check on […]

A Great Team

So far so good for the selections by the President-elect to his Cabinet. I was particularly pleased with Bill Richardson being  named to Commerce, as he was my first choice for President. Clearly he has many skills that are needed in Washington. The Hillary choice reminds me of similar selections of a rival by Lincoln […]

Bottom of the Barrell

The use of the mud from the bottom of the ol’mud barrell shows the increasing frenzy of the GOP at their impending electoral meltdown. For once I think we are meeting their much-vaunted ground game on equal terms. Much of that is being done by citizens themselves, and not a formal party organization. Power to […]

Same old tactics

My level of disgust with the McCain campaign has reached a new high with the misleading attack ads and snarky comments from McCain and his camp. From the incredible direct mail they have sent out that makes ill-founded accusations about ‘’surrender” to McCain himself inferring Obama is a socialist (or worse), the character […]

Vote Tuesday!

My Dad was a WWII vet and he voted just about every chance he got, because he knew how hard his generation had fought to keep that right. So please vote for the candidate of your choice in the primaries…on KTOK this morning we talked about term limits.
In the abstract I don’t mind them if […]

Nothing funny

Nothing “funny” about the Brent Rinehart “comic” book out there. We discussed this on KTOK this morning. I don’t normally predict Republican primaries, but surely the voters in that district will decide it is time for this sort of thing to punished, not rewarded.
The other topic was Obama, and I felt he sure looked Presidential […]

So predictable

Nothing was less of a shock than GOP Chairman Gary Jones calling Obama a flip-flopper. I don’t care who we nominated, that would have been a charge. People are confusing what he is choosing to stress with a change in position.
Those two things are not the same. I would note that compared to McCain, who […]

Phone Booth Rally Groups

The topic of “Clinton staffers for McCain” came up on the radio debate today (AM 1000 at 7:35 every Monday morning with me versus the Republican State Chairman) and my response was that group could meet in a phone booth.
Every election features a press release that invokes the “your own guys are not for your […]
