Radio station KTOK's morning show host, Reid Mullins, called attention to the commercial which first aired on his show this morning and said it could be "a game changer" in the Democratic primary.
Switzer's endorsement is considered important by candidates, and apparently by voters. His support of underdog Brad Henry in the 2002 governor's race is credited by many with helping Henry win election in an upset over favored Republican Steve Largent.
