Day after day, the Republican's give these guys gold on issues in Washington and at the State Capitol. Do the Democrats even go so far as to put out a press release when the Republicans step in it? Geez, if they sent anything out to the rural daily papers and small radio stations, most of them would run it, but they don't.

Let's face facts–we live in a one party state with no opposition party. All the Democratic Party wants to do is gripe about the Daily Oklahoman and talk amongst themselves. Blogging and having a discussion with a political activist in Washington State is fun, but it is not getting a message out to the average Oklahoma voter.

There is no Democratic Party in Oklahoma.

The fact that the state party was so impotent as to allow one of the most powerful Republicans in the U.S. Senate to be opposed by Jim Rogers is a humiliation beyond description.

I think the party was completely preoccupied wasting time arguing about the location of the state party offices at the time, so they didn't have time to ask how a guy whose Facebook page (his ONLY campaign interface, now revised) referred to how he 'liked to run around Midwest City with his bedsheet cape and hand-lettered "Davis For President" sweatshirt…'

This guy beat Mark Myles, an erudite and charismatic attorney from Lawton who was his opponent in the primary.

I asked a friend who worked for the L.A. Times if this guy could be a shill, bought and paid for as a straw candidate by the Coburn campaign and she just shrugged "Yeah, it happens all the time."

In any event, there's no excuse for such incompetence on the part of the state party. Until they wake up enough to stop such nonsense, they're going nowhere, in my opinion.
