The League of Conservation Voters has named Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe to the top of their "Dirty Dozen" list for 2008. As David Sandretti of the LCV wrote:
The choice of Inhofe was really a no-brainer. He has been the last of the great deniers of global warming (he calls it "a hoax"). And he's cast as many anti-environment votes as anyone in his time in the Senate.

But naming Inhofe to the top of the "Dirty Dozen" list means the LCV is doing more than calling it as they see it on his record. It means that the non-partisan LCV believes Jim Inhofe can be defeated in 2008.
Andrew Rice provides a real choice for U.S. Senate. Oklahoma has tremendous potential for becoming a leader in developing alternative energies, but Jim Inhofe remains focused on blocking action and fixated on disproving global warming. In the U.S. Senate, Andrew Rice will be a leader on energy independence and developing clean-burning resources.
