This is kind of weird, but I'm having second thoughts about voting for Tom Coburn's opponent. For one, it would be a waste of a vote, but more than that, even as a Democrat, I want to do everything in my power to keep my own party under the 60 seat mark. I do not want us to have a monopoly on Congress with hotels on Park Place and Boardwalk, too.
Even though I will remain a Democrat, and will probably vote for the Democratic Party everywhere else on the ballot, if I am still living in Oklahoma in another 17 months, I may have to vote for the incumbent even though I disagree with him on a whole range of issues.
