for some reason, it's not that... it's DEMOCRATS coming home. (trump only getting 20% of Democrats as opposed to 26%).
Which is super odd but in statewide politics it makes sense - Democrats are actually running credible candidates in a lot of areas for State Senate and House where Democrats were left for dead awhile ago, thanks to Mary Fallin and the Republican leaderships utterly incompetent reign.
Any pickup predictions, Maxwell?
I don't have exact numbers, but I believe one very possible one is my very own state senate district, where fairly moderate (read: for Oklahoma) Republican Brian Crane (and even then only won by like 10 in 2012) is retiring, and the Democrats are running a likable, intelligent, former social studies teacher named John Waldron, who has made his focus nearly 100% on education, a subject that is getting a lot of play here. His opponent, Republican Dave Rader, is a former TU football coach and someone whose candidacy is based almost entirely on name recognition. I suspect Waldron narrowly beats Rader.
