surprising but no problem with it. Maybe Russell assumed way too much and didn't hustle enough. Good to get some new blood in there but unfortunately they will sadly slowly become like the rest. Another candidate who was a democrat but lost was the lady running against Pinnell...Pittman. I saw her on tv being interviewed and she seemed pretty sharp and experienced. Glad Pinnell won but she would have been ok as well. She may try again. Oklahoma democrats are still fairly reasonable to a degree and don't do too much that is way out there. What does the lt. governor do anyway? run for governor next time??
