Nighthorse Campbell is a Republican. He is vacating his seat.

The chances of that happening is the same as "Hill-Billy" Clin-ton dumping the Demos and becoming a die-hard right wing fruitcake! (But flipping parties doesnt apply if yer last name is Orza or Richardson...Who have ran for offices on all 3 party tickets in Oklahoma!)

Rep. Carson backtracks on expensive healthcare bill
By Patrick O'Connor


In an apparent move to the political center, Rep. Brad Carson (D-Okla.) is distancing himself from an expensive healthcare bill written by a California liberal.

Carson, who is running to take retiring Sen. Don Nickles’s (R-Okla.) seat this November, last week withdrew his support of a bill introduced by Rep. Pete Stark (D-Calif.) that would give comprehensive healthcare coverage to all children born after 2004.
-----------------------------------------
His latest campaign ad says the following:
Brad Carson will not support partial birth abortion.
Brad Carson believes marriage is between a man and a woman.
Brad Carson supports the NRA gun ownership policy.
Brad Carson feels there should be zero tolerance on illegal aliens.

According to the stats, he votes Republican 78% of the time. I guess he's a sight better than "Dr. Death" Coburn but this guy ain't no Democrat.

A Democrat like others Demos in different states throughout the US (Or even in your home state), But all the things you posted that he supports is what the typical Oklahoma Democrat supports.

Like I posted many a times before here on the Chit Chat posts on the Ledge (I remember Dissention laughing at what I called 'em one time), An Oklahoma Democrat is basically a Republican (Pro-life, Pro-religion, Anti-Gay Marriage, Pro-military, Pro-gun & Anti-Illegal Immigrant) who is scared about losing their Social Security and thus align themselves with the Democratic party, who are typically trying to save Social Security for all Americans...Otherwise they are Conservatives who happen to be registered Democrats (This state is not a liberal state...Never have or will be.)
