I'm pulling for Shannon in this one.

Big question is whether  Gov. Fallin endorses in the Senate race ?

Why?

I don't know much about Shannon. Why is he becoming the leading candidate over the past few weeks.

Out of all of those running I figure Lankford would be leading.

National endorsements and if some outside groups endorse, $$$. Perceived star power can power you to a primary win, as we've seen for the past 3 cycles. Lankford's leading because he has much better organization and name ID.

Only big name missing on Shannon's list is CFG, which is strange given their publicized beefs with Lankford. Maybe it'll come later. I'd like to see PPP poll this primary.

Lankford's been branded as establishment.

That's how the TP groups see it. To them Shannon has the preferable record, Lankford's more socon than C4G and is also a member of House leadership. Both men have support from the local establishment. Shannon has TP grassroots and the insurgent mantle.

That's an internal. Hopefully PPP looks there soon enough.

Whether Lankford or Shannon win outright depends on Brogdon et al + negative ads. Similar that way to NE.

Shannon raised $626k w/330k COH.

Sooner Poll director thinks Shannon has the advantage in what he sees as a rural-urban battle, with rural voters preferring Shannon.

Lankford released an internal showing him up 41/34. In May that was 43/33.

Apparently Shannon's hammering the Tulsa media market with those two ads for the next week. Smart move since OKC is Lankford territory.

What do you think will happen next week?

From what little I've read, local & national folks from both establishment & TP are divided. Dunno if that may be a reason for the close race.
