Liberal Democrats Jam TMRO Poll

Liberal Democrats who read the Democrats of Oklahoma Community Forum are jamming TMRO's poll on the selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as John McCain's vice presidential nominee. We've taken the poll down as a result.

It's typical of what they've tried in the past. Every vote against Palin save one has been posted since the forum took note of it. What its posters may be trying to prove escapes us, but after they've tired of their game, we'll repost the poll. ~ Mike McCarville

Political People & Events

Rob Johnson: The state representative from Kingfisher who narrowly lost the Republican nomination for the Corporation Commission to Dana Murphy today endorsed her campaign and pledged to help work for her election against incumbent Democrat Jim Roth.

DNC Blog: The Democrats of Oklahoma Community Forum, http://www.demookie.com/, has been selected as an official blog from the Democratic National Convention in Denver. Representing the forum there will be Tim Reese and Calvin Rees.

Republican Optimism: Some Oklahoma Republicans are optimistic today about this fall's elections, citing liberal Barack Obama at the top of the ticket, with liberal Andrew Rice as the U. S. Senate nominee and openly gay Jim Roth seeking election as Corporation Commissioner. "We've got to be careful not to get carried away," said a GOP county chairman in southwestern Oklahoma, "but, man, this is shaping up well for us." Said a longtime Tulsa County GOP leader: "We both remember McGovern in '72 and how he killed (Democrat) Ed Edmondson against Dewey (Bartlett). I see the same thing happening this time around, and Obama probably won't do as well as McGovern did. Rice probably wouldn't run too well even without the Obama drag. Way I see it is, conservative Democrats just don't have much of a place to go on the top races except to our nominees. That, or stay home."

Bullet-Proof: Republican Rep. Randy Terrill, having survived an all-out assault in the primary over his sponsorship of the state's new immigration law, is now viewed by many as politically bullet-proof. Said a GOP consultant: "His enemies shot their wad in the primary and he killed 'em. He's got bigger bullets than they do. So what's next: Terrill for governor?"

Garbage In, Garbage Out Part II: No Apologies To Sally Kern's Son From Gay, Liberal Bloggers For False Claims

Gay and liberal bloggers who participated last week in untrue, savage attacks on the son of Rep. Sally Kern have yet to apologize to him despite his own assertion he's not gay and proof that a 1989 court document does not involve him.

In fact, The Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund has continued the attack, with some posters ridiculing Jesse Kern's assertion he's not gay and belittling posters who try to set the record straight. The PerezHilton blog, a haven for liberal thought laced with obscenities, hasn't apologized either. Nor has the Democrats of Oklahoma Community Forum, which first made the erroneous assertion, or The Lost Ogle, an obscure local social blog that picked the "story" up from the PerezHilton blog and seems to consider the attack on Jesse Kern as nothing of concern. The Democrats of Oklahoma Community Forum did, at least, acknowledge the person named in the 1989 document is another Jesse Kern and not Sally Kern's son.
