For Rice, Not A Pretty Picture

U. S. Senate candidate Andrew Rice's lackluster showing in Tuesday's primary against a no-name opponent who spent no money and didn't campaign is reflected in this map, which shows the counties the Democrat lost to perennial candidate Jim Rogers. Note that most of the counties Rice lost are in the heart of Democrat country, southeastern Oklahoma, southern and southwestern Oklahoma. He also lost two counties in western Oklahoma, the three Panhandle counties and the Democrat county of Ottawa in northeastern Oklahoma. The orange counties are those in which Rice polled less than 55 percent; the brown counties are those in which Rice underperformed his state percentage (59%). He carried the counties in gray by larger margins.
