Sweeden Says He May Run, Takes Swipe At Rice

From The Tulsa World's "Political Notebook" ~ State Sen. Joe Sweeden, D-Pawhuska, said last week that he is considering a race for the U.S. Senate. Sweeden said he is exploring the idea and has not committed to running. He said he has been approached about a campaign and would be a "moderate choice all Oklahomans could get behind." Sen. Andrew Rice, D-Oklahoma City, has already announced that he will seek the Democratic nomination to run against U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla. Sweeden, 46, a rancher, is term-limited in 2010. He would not have to give up his state Senate seat to run, he said.
