You are right. Oklahoma really couldn’t lose tonight. As one of those rock-ribbed conservatives who happily voted for Lankford, I am glad he won although I would have been happy with TW. They are both solid conservatives .
Comments like the “butt-boy” BS up thread show only the low information status of the poster. To suggest that voters in the reddest state in the country elected a RINO (by a clear majority in a field of seven) is an insult to the citizens of Oklahoma.
Frankly I wish Shannon had just run for the 5th district seat Lankford is leaving. TW can use a little more seasoning and Lankford will be an excellent student of Inhofe.
Low information voter??? We know enough to see that Lankford vtoed for the bailout... twice, and that he supports amnesty. He won’t bring that one up until after the general election. Then he will mumble about being practical and humane, etc.
Perhaps you can enlighten us, Newheart. Please give us examples of when Lankford stood up to Boehner and the Republican establishment.
SENATOR Lankford delivered a speech for the ages on the Planned Parenthood butchery. It made me proud to be a Republican for the first time in a long time.
