Yet another 'fun' Senate race...

The Delaware  Senate race is not the only wild one out there.  When you tire of finding out that O'donnell is actually NOT a witch and therefore IS you. (I am considering taking up witchcraft), there is always Oklahoma.

It is not difficult to know who would win the generals of the Oklahoma Senate race.  Tom Coburn has been quite popular in his state for many years.  But prior to the general race there is a primary race.  As for the Democrats, the following two people were in the lead for the Democratic primary.

_______________________________________________
Republican Candidate -

Tom Coburn - Incumbent senator and very popular in Colorado.

Currently has a 42 point lead against Mr Rogers


2010 Election activities: Probably, right now, having dinner after spending the day fishing or golfing.  Tomorrow, likely, will start reading the new Bill O'Reilly book, "Pinheads and Patriots: Where You Stand in the Age of Obama"

How does this happen?  Did the Democratic citizens not spend time looking at the candidates?  Are there not enough resources?   Mr Myles believes it is 'Name recognition'.  People think Jim Rogers is related to Will Rogers.  I'm not sure that's the whole story.
