GOP and the state Legislature
Elephant tide?
Democrats have their work cut out for them if new polling results from The Sooner Survey are to be believed. Not only is John McCain still very popular in Oklahoma, but down-ballot races in the state Senate are marching in step with the presidential ticket. In Senate districts said to hold the key to a GOP takeover of the body, McCain is supported by no less than 56 percent of those polled (it’s 63 percent in one district). Republican Senate candidates are doing well in each of these five seats, raising the possibility that both houses of the Legislature will be controlled by the GOP even if the governor’s chair and most statewide elected offices aren’t. This trend has been a long time in coming. In a year that promises to be so good for Democrats nationwide, the party continues to lose ground in Oklahoma, making it more baffling why party officials are focused on petty calls for a probe of the former Republican House speaker.
