One of the unique aspects of the internet that we love is its capacity to allow every knucklehead with a computer (present company included) the ability to share their OPINIONS with a large audience. Oftentimes bloggers are right and ahead of the curve, at other times, we don’t have a damn clue! Two recent posts over at our friends okiepolitics.com fall into the latter category.
Yesterday, they questioned Senator Inhofe’s decision to debate lightweight state senator Andrew Rice:
“This decision is baffling, if not boneheaded. Inhofe should stay at home and only appear at non televised appearances. He is ahead by nearly 10%. Outspend Rice and get your ticket punched back to Washington, Jim.” Read more…
And then, feeling giddy and cocky about their pronouncement, they wrote a post today patting themselves on the back.
“It is nice to see that some logical campaign advice telling Senator Jim Inhofe to avoid debates like the plague got so much attention in the Senate.” Read more…
Sorry to rain on the parade fellas. Maybe this is why he’s not afraid to debate Rice:
From RealClearPolitics.com
A new SurveyUSA poll (Sept. 5-7, 652 LV, MoE +/- 3.9%) in Oklahoma shows McCain up 33 points over Obama in the presidential race and Sen. James Inhofe (R), running for a third term, up 22 points over state Sen. Andrew Rice (D) in the race for Senate.
The state is not considered in play for Obama, as it hasn’t voted Democratic in a presidential election since 1964. Inhofe’s re-election prospects were solidified when Gov. Brad Henry (D) decided against running. This is the third poll in the last three months to show him leading Rice by 22 points. Read more…

“With Rice’s strong fundraising and the fact that Inhofe can be gaffe-prone, I have considered this a possible sleeper pickup for the Democrats. I still think this one shouldn’t be counted out yet.” Read more..

Seems like the Senator is a little scared that if he goes out without a script he may get beat up by his own record? That’s a real shame. I like my representatives to have some backbone and be able to stand up for what they’ve accomplished.
