Who will be Inhofe’s successor?

Who will succeed Jim Inhofe in the Senate if he retires?

[SnowLabrador]

Scott Pruitt. He seems to be the one most interested in it.

Cole, Pruitt, Hern, Mullin, and Cornett are good choices


The only way this is competitive is if Fallon gets the nomination, then it is Lean R. Otherwise Safe R

I disagree. Federal races are more polarized than state races. Even if Mary Fallin were to be the nominee, it would be no less than Safe R.

I think that a 17% approval rating would result in Republicabs bleeding from her, and this case Dems would probably try to recruit Brad Henry

After seeing Bredesen lose to Blackburn by double digits, I have a hard time seeing Oklahoma be anything other than Safe R. Granted, Blackburn wasn't a deeply unpopular former governor, but Fallin must not have been as unpopular as polls suggested, since Kevin Stitt won.

Brad Henry or Dan Boren would just take massive Ls by more than 10%, just like Bredesen, Lingle, and Strickland in their Senate races. Democrats should follow the Rosen model, they could do it with Axne in Iowa, rather than the Former Governor model. Freshman Representatives have had a lot of luck in recent years, in all of history only 18 freshman reps have gone to the Senate, yet three of them alone have been elected in the last few years, Daines and Cotton in 2014, and Rosen in 2018, Maybe Axne in 2020, Schumer and the DSCC agree that this model is the better option for winning states that lean to the Red side, or have Republican incumbents.

I mean, people were also forgetting that Oklahoma is an uber Republican state.  The only reasons Brad Henry won in 2002, a much less polarized time, were cockfighting and an independent on the ballot.

Probably Pruitt. Gotta have our quota of climate change deniers in the Senate.

Lol at Pruitt being a good choice for ANYTHING.

The OK Dems are non-existent. It's embarrassing.
