For Rice, Trouble In Democrat River City

UPDATED ~ Andrew Rice won his primary for the U. S. Senate today over no-name opponent Jim Rogers of Midwest City, 59-41 percent, but an analysis of county-by-county voting shows there's trouble ahead for Rice against incumbent Republican Senator Jim Inhofe.
The analysis shows that, even though Rogers had no advertising and didn't campaign, he out-polled the liberal Rice in some key Democrat counties.
Among the counties Rice lost to Rogers: Bryan, Carter, Jefferson, McCurtain, LeFlore, Love, Marshall, Ottawa, Sequoyah, Stephens and Washita.
Inhofe, meanwhile, carried all 77 counties in his 84 percent win.
Note: Final returns show Rice lost far more counties than listed here. For an updated list, see story above.
