Shannon running for U.S. Senate-2

[Joe Biden 2020]

I really like Shannon, although I really like Lankford, as well.  I have met both gentlemen in person and either would be great in the United States Senate.  They're both solid, conservative Christian men.  I think Lankford has the upper hand for right now because he is the "closest" to the US Senate working across the hall in the US House.  Lankford probably has slightly more name recognition on account of his position of Falls Creek Baptist Church Camp director for the entire state prior to running for Congress.  He is well known and generally well liked by members of both parties in Oklahoma.  Shannon, I don't think has quite the name recognition that Lankford does, and this puts him at an out-of-the-gate disadvantage, IMO.

I hope there is someone more exciting for the seat. T.W. Shannon is obviously better than Lankford, but I kind of wish there was a Coburn type running.

Aren't the Lt Gov or AG looking at a run?

I honestly think Todd Lamb would be dead in the water. Lankford and Shannon are heavy weights, Lamb is not close to their name recognition or political skill. the AG already said no.

Yeah, Todd Lamb, as great of a Lieutenant Governor as he is, would get laughed out of the building by Shannon and especially Lankford.
