I certaintly never knew a theme. It seemed like a Dem campaign in that our whole message seemed to be "they are worse than us." We didn't put out our program much.
Exactly! There was no message that they ran on that I heard. I thought Hastert did a horrible job as speaker and the Foley deal along with Ney hurt really bad. Abramhoff came up and bit us if you ask me. The Dims managed to make us the party of corruption and we let them IMHO.
I think we need to do a lessons learned to not make the same mistakes again, and we could put that out right here about what worked in some places and didn't in others. I think we need new heads of RNC, NRSC, NRCC and a lot of State Parties especially ours in OK!
Congressional Republicans in OK did great. Our statewide candidates were the worst ever and we only won one race. Our Governor candidate was the worst I have ever seen in any state. We did keep the OK and tie the OK Senate for the first time ever in the Senate, but statewide we got clobbered because the wrong person headed the ticket thanks to the OK Chairman taking out the best candidate in the primary with his kumbyya approach!
