yes, dt has turned things around as far as transparency bc everybody is crapping bricks, but, if they count the votes right...we win. It's been about 18 years of voting fraud by the gop, I firmly believe it. After Gore, and Karl Roves Politics is War, anything was ok for them. And it shows. Gerrymandering stories are a perfect example.people who were involved and can be traced, need to be in jail. right there by the kid who got caught w a joint.

He can preach the fire and brimstone GOP dogma with the best of them when in certain circles. I've seen it.

A native who returned to the state to live. Edmondson is from Muskogee, BTW. Hope Stitt wins primary. Cornett is a moderate repub who would be tough to beat.

I always loved the lyrics to Okie From Muskogee in an ironic way.

For those who remember:
http://www.mazeppa.com/

Leon was a great LA session musician who had a heckuva solo career.

Of course, Haggard's parents came from Oklahoma during the depression but I think Muskogee was chosen because it fit syllable-wise. Since it has a large Native American population I never thought of it as the quintessential redneck town. And I met a few hippies from there back in the day who said 'huh, we smoke marijuana.'
