I saw polling today that has Inhofe way ahead 53% to 37%. The same polling group, Survey USA has McCain ahead of Obama 64% to 34%
I know it is 34 days till the election and that is a lifetime in election days, but it looks as if Inhofe is cruising to an easy win.
I don't get it. He is a laughingstock on Capitol Hill. Why do we re-elect him?
Is it just that we are so red it doesn't matter? Rice is getting a higher percentage than Obama...
Great question. I don't get it either....
My main turn off with Rice is he's a political opportunist. He started running for U.S. Senate within six months of being elected to the state Senate.
He's also too liberal to carry Oklahoma. He might translate well in a west coast state or east coast state. A popular moderate like Brad Henry can win a U.S. Senate seat from Oklahoma. He's a "Boren" Democrat on many levels. I suspect he might be holding out for Coburn's seat as I would assume Coburn was going for one term.
Rice's ad lampooning Inhofe for accepting over a million in contributions from the oil industry is incredibly naive. What are two of the main engines of Oklahoma's economy??? Energy & agriculture. How's Oklahoma's economy been doing the last five years?
For any resident of Oklahoma to sit around and demonize the oil industry is just plain stupid. For someone to run on it shows a level of ignorance better suited to private, not public pursuits.

"He's too liberal blah blah blah."
You're too conservative, Conan. Out of touch with mainstream America?
Sully and Inhofe ripping hospital funding inaction is political gamesmanship. They both should be outed!
When it comes down to a race like this, I go with the candidate that is going to be respected not only in OK but in D.C. as well.
Nickles, Boren, Bellmon commanded respect and were true leaders whether I agreed with them or not. They represented Oklahoma well. Inhofe is no leader, he is a joke amongst both parties.
I will hold my nose and vote for Andrew Rice. At this point I would prefer giving someone a chance to prove themselves rather than send Inhofe back and continue his idiocy.
You claim you want change? Then vote this moron out of office. At this point, it's not even about the issues when it comes to Inhofe.

Actually Inhofe is well-respected amongst Republicans in DC. But liberal media outlets don't cop to it.
Inhofe is being targeted hard by the DNC because he's one of the worst thorns in their side.

Actually my source(a prominent Republican senator) says differently but it doesn't matter because what was said about Inhofe happened during our private conversation.
I don't expect anyone to believe me and would expect you to question the validity. But for me, being privilege to that conversation confirmed my feelings and it's what I base my opinion on.

Polls are meaningless until 9 days before the election. That's when they want to be right. Right now they are concerned with swaying opinion.

That is a pretty good summary of the dinner time adds that Inhofe has been running.
So what do you base your statement that Inhofe is ridiculed in DC on?
The only thing I can say about Inhofe is that he's slightly less embarassing than Coburn. Of course, that's not saying much.
Inhofe's attack ads on Rice are so offensive and insulting, I'd vote against Inhofe just because he "approved this ad." Of course, I'm already going to vote against Inhofe b/c he's a dinosaur and his record proves it.
I like the Project Vote Smart Website (//%22http://www.votesmart.org/summary.php?can_id=27027%22) to learn about the different candidates. It shows everything from recent speeches to voting records, and how different special interest groups "rate" the candidates. (This can be enlightening...depending on your own interests!)

It is just personal observations. Granted, I hang with the tree-huggers and the ones that believe in global warming and science and all.
Every time I go to DC and tell people I am from Oklahoma, they bring up Inhofe. When Jon Stewart lampooned Inhofe, I got a dozen e-mails giving me grief.
The story is that Inhofe has no friends on either side of the aisle either. I know some lobbyists who laugh and say the way to persuade Inhofe is to act interested in his stories. He is desperate for a willing ear.

I've only been in OK since last year, but I've heard something from several different sources. They said that they wrote a letter to Inhofe disagreeing with some of his policies, and he supposedly actually took the time to write a reply saying basically "I don't care what you think" or "I don't want 'your kind' voting for me." Has anyone else heard or experienced this? If it's true, it's extremely juvenile behavior for a Senator. Then again, so is being a bully.
I like the shot of Inhofe they run under his "this message was approved by Jim Inhofe." It's dusk, he's walking towards the camera, but he's far away and it looks a little like he might draw a six shooter and pop you the voter right there on the spot. In big red letters right next to him: INHOFE
It's like an outtake from "No Country For Old Men."

I'm not running for Senate.
My wife and I are trying to figure out just why Inhofe is destroying this young man when he could totally ignore him and still be elected by double digits. It seems like maybe he just enjoys the nasty process of taking a decent human being and spinning him into a crime loving punk.
Or, maybe he's fearful of any Obama coat-tails effect and wants to make sure he isn't caught off guard. According to fivethirtyeight.com McCain/Palin was up 30pts on Obama in OK last week putting us second in the nation. Now M/P is up only 24pts putting us behind Idaho and Utah.
Even though in the senate race Inhofe is predicted as 99% assured of victory...a 6pt decline in the presidential race in OK might concern him. Best just to destroy the kid and sort out the details later.

Not saying Inhofe doesn't have "national" money, PAC's, or special interest $$ in his campaign, but I think he's probably somewhat scared of the special interests trying to get Rice elected.
You're right though, he could brush it off as: "Well sonny, when you get to be my age you can make those judgements...."
The photo he uses in his ads make Rice look like a street punk. One of my friends swears he's got a mullett in the photo, I can't tell.
Honestly, Rice sounds like a nice enough guy, aside from him being left of what I'm comfortable with, my biggest issue has been the "brash up-start" thing. Of course, I said much the same thing about Obama, and now we've got a 20-month gov. as a VP nominee for the GOP.
Maybe that's the trend these days, bring them up through the ranks quickly before they spoil. I think I'll run for City Council next time around, then announce for President six months later. [;)]

Good. I'll go shopping for jets this weekend.
This link may explain Inhofe's recent "Rice the Punk" ads.
http://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2008/Senate/Graphs/oklahoma.html
About the time the financial crisis was dominating and the debates were on, Rice took a steep gain in support while Inhofe took a steep dive. The ads blunted that momentum. Given enough time Rice could have made it close.
Did Inhofe vote on the Senate bail-out bill?
Inhof defends the Global Warming comments, "I think I was right" (//%22http://thinkprogress.org/2008/10/09/inhofe-debate-gw/%22)
Rice is catching up quick, but he needs more fast. Rice will probably get ten percentage points more than Obama, but still lose.
This state is deep red and for a democrat to win a federal seat will take a miracle.

Do you really think ads affect votes that much these days? With all the different news outlets available with cable and the internet vs. 24 years ago when I voted in my first Presidential election, I find I pay less and less attention to the ads. When I do, they generally turn me off, whether it's a GOP or Dem ad. I figure it's the worst cobbling of facts to make a point in 30 seconds and appeals to the lowest common denominator.
I probably allow more time for political information in my life than the average person, so I do take a fair time to watch and read the news and listen to the liberal and conservative pundits.
Honestly, McCain can pour as much money into advertising as he wants the next four weeks, after his performance at the "town hall" the other night, I think he's done. He physically didn't look well because he is so stiff (he forgot that they hid FDR's wheel chair for 12 years) and everyone expected him to assail Obama. I think people are beginning to think he's pursuing this with the same vigor as President Bush in 1992, which wasn't much.

I tire of advertising as well and find it has little overt effect on my decisionmaking. I watch it in an analytical way to see if I can determine what they're trying to do and how. That said, are we representative? Considering that sports advertising continues to increase in cost, I doubt it.
McCain wanted that town hall style debate to showcase his ability to connect and show he is spry. Seems like it was a mistake. I thought he looked stiff and contrived. Not just his physical limitations but more his being ill at ease and angry.
He kept getting up close to people like he was leading a motivational seminar or informercial. Something tells me he is not listening much to his handlers. He had such a great image of honor, service, career and seemed to want to go outside of it. Meanwhile Obama appeared a little mystified at McCain's behavior. He's obviously a more intelligent man and even though not so comfortable in a town hall setup, he adjusted well.
I don't think McCain realizes the damage the debates have done to him by being contrasted with a laid back opponent who still has the capability to land defensive blows if necessary. That contrast transcended the issues. To get back to the thread, it was the same contrast between Rice and Inhofe that transcended anything they had to say. Inhofe looked comfortable, secure and willing to engage a young man for whom he professed respect but profound disagreement.
Inhofe clearly listened to his handlers. He was very safe and sounded almost sane. I think his campaign is holding to their brand (while toning it down a bit) and hoping for the best, while bombarding the empty-headed masses with the punk kid image of Rice in their adds. Andrew Rice did a good job, but really needed to have a strong showing to get much movement.
Watching the presidential debate after watching those two was like going from a T-ball game to the world series.
Old thread, but I hate starting new. Plus, this is an opportunity to review a little history. Inhofe was a joke then. Nothing changed.
There are legitimate reasons for people to buy and sell stock - I have been thinking seriously about buying some right now while they are low. But I also didn't get a confidential briefing on covid19 that might affect the price of stocks sometime AFTER I learned about it!
Inhofe still doing his criminal acts. Of course. Senator James Inhofe, an Oklahoma Republican, sold stock after coronavirus briefings, according to financial records.
One of the Senators is married to the President of the New York Stock Exchange.
And Burr? Well, it's obvious.
The only one who sold but likely was not trying to avoid upcoming losses was Feinstein - and it was her husband who sold the stock. In fact, it would appear that they may have been trying to avoid future gains, since it was a cancer research biotech company they sold! At near an all time low for the stock. All other things being equal, this stock is one might reasonably expect to benefit from a health crisis.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/us-senators-sold-stock-after-coronavirus-briefings-in-january/ar-BB11rJg6?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=mailsignout
I'm considering voting for Inhofe based on his proven ability to fly an airplane in a campaign ad. (And let's just ignore that incident involving landing on a closed runway. It says NOTHING about his judgement. Nothing. Move along. Move along.)
