***It was a SHOCK when Brad Carson took Tom Coburn's seat***

It isn't a shock that Brad Carson won. The OK-02 is a quintessential Yellow Dog district. RATS like Brad Henry and Laura Boyd carried the OK-02. The region isn't called Little Dixie for nothing.

Yes, it was a SHOCK to those of us who actually live in this district. I know all about "little Dixie", but the people of the 2nd district are quite conservative and if we had a better candidate, we would of won.

But none of that matters now, we must keep the Senate seat in Republicans hands.

Did you know that state Labor Commissioner Brenda Rennau lives in Congressman Brad Carson's district? She is a statewide office-holder with substantial name ID, and has run well in the district in her previous elections. I hope she can be persuaded to run next year.

No, I did not know that Brenda lives in my district. Thanks for the heads up! I would love to see her run for Carson's seat!!! She is great!

You're welcome :)
