From Cox.net-New Orleans ~ Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe looks strong in his bid for a third term. The Democratic nominee, on the other hand, has a lot of work to do if he wants to pull off an election upset in November.
Inhofe, 73, already was a heavy favorite in Tuesday's primary because of his superior financing. He got 84 percent of the vote in sweeping past three little-known opponents.
His opponent in the fall, state Sen. Andrew Rice, got a little less than 60 percent of the vote in defeating Jim Rogers, a perennial candidate who had run twice previously for the Senate.
