Monday's Roll Call noted that the DSCC, having far outraised its Republican counterpart, the NRSC, is ready to take action in states not normally considered good opportunities for Democratic Senatorial challengers. One place they've been focusing on is Oklahoma. In part due to the strength of the challenger (state Sen. Andrew Rice) and in part due to the weakness of the incumbent (Jim Inhofe), Oklahoma this year is up for grabs.
From RC (subscription required for full article):
But it’s in Georgia, Kansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma and possibly other Republican states — where the GOP generally doesn’t expect to have any trouble — that the DSCC believes it might be able to sow the seeds of a filibuster-proof Senate majority. [...]
In Oklahoma, the DSCC is planning to send out as many as 10 field staffers to aid state Sen. Andrew Rice’s bid to oust Sen. James Inhofe (R), according to state Democratic Party Chairman Ivan Holmes.
This week the DSCC began to put Andrew Rice on the road to victory... literally. The first three installments from their trip to Oklahoma for their "Road to Victory" video series have been posted, including this one called "Singing at the Pump":
See here and here for the other two (including some more singing).
Since "We know we belong to the land, and the land we belong to is grand," why not help turn Oklahoma green? We have a great opportunity to defeat the Senator who has raised nearly $1 million from the oil and coal industries, and we're doing it a few dollars at a time - help us defeat Jim Inhofe and keep our land grand.
Best,
Karina Henderson
