A view from the reddest of red states - Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plain.

18. I am seeing more bumperstickers than yard signs

the yard signs are taken up with state legislative races, but the Democratic candidates, other than myself, are doing a good job getting their signs out. Still, there are LOTS of Republican signs too for the local candidates. So it is hard to tell, I expect we will win in the 41st and the Sherrif looks strong. If we win Senate 5 (and we should (knock on wood)) it will be because of Wyandotte County, not my own. Same with the 3rd district, except it will be Douglas County. The other races, we are likely to lose the 42nd. Hard to tell with the 40th. It's uphill, but I am hopeful. We have a decent shot at the 38th as well, although I kinda have to shake my head. Our candidate is a retired insurance man, who makes six figures in retirement. He's a decent guy, I have known him for probably five years, but really is that the best representative of the working class? I guess anything would be better than a rubber stamp for the Governator that the Republican would be. But still ...
