I love this...from Republican Oklahoma: "Inhofe not the leader we deserve"
It's a week old, but it deserves more exposure.

Edmund is a modest city of < 100,000 people, and is traditionally Republican. A good barometer of attitudes.
It's good to see their print editors have realized their Repub candidate for the Senate is not worthy of them:

Inhofe not the leader we deserve
Mickey Hepner
The Edmond Sun

EDMOND — While the U.S. government raised more concerns this week about the dangers of global warming, one wonders if Oklahoma’s Sen. James Inhofe will ever get the message.

For support, Inhofe relies upon the scientists who share his skepticism, including University of Oklahoma associate professor David Deming, who is no stranger to controversy himself.

However, the problem is not with the skeptical scientists, but with the politicians who ignore the bulk of the scientific evidence and side with those skeptics. On the issue of global warming, there is a growing body of evidence that indicates that global warming is real.

4. I would rate his downfall as the most important activity Oklahomans
can be involved in.

He is the face of the global warming denial/liars club in the USA. He should retire in shame. Godspeed.

8. So true. My brother is an Okie
and he is an environmentalist.

Shithead is the mildest term he has for Inhofe.

3. sort of peripherally related...
Schwartzenegger made a good inaugural speech - in it he said of the climate naysayers "if you take your sick child with a fever of 106 to 100 doctors, 98 say he needs medicine and two say 'don't worry' who are you going to believe?"

sadly there are those who would rather their child die than believe it could be sick. Inhofe is one of those; his election to a leadership position is only overshadowed in its absurdity only by bush's

5. I believe there are cases in which the American Taliban
"faith" believers have done just that to their child.

6. In 2008 he needs to be humiliated by an overwhelming defeat
I hope Oklahomans will do it.

7. Inhofe represents the petroleum lobby and little else
He isn't stupid. He's just evil.
