OK-PrimR: Shannon down in 9 in internal

[LeBron]

This will get very interesting. Brogdon seems to be eating away at Lankford's numbers especially among Tea Party-aligned voters, so add that with two rising stars in Oklahoma, Lankford and Shannon, who are incredibly popular and becoming more well-known and this will be tight down to the end, runoff or not. Seeing as how it's Oklahoma, Lankford will get hit fiercely for not being conservative enough and they're sure to cite his debt ceiling vote, but really it's just an excuse for Palin, the SCC, and other national groups to help get Shannon elected to try and further their image among African Americans. Hopefully, Lankford pulls this out in the end.

Another thing to note, the filing deadline is in 3 weeks and there's still no Democratic candidate. Not that it matters since they'll lose whoever it is, but this would really look sad if we can't get at least somebody to throw their name in.
