A Henry/Coburn switch would be fine with me. Would Henry just be a Ben Nelson type Senator?
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Henry
"Governor Henry has taken a fairly moderate political stance as governor. He believes that abortion is not an issue that requires government interference and has a mixed view of affirmative action, supporting it in colleges but not in hiring for the bureaucracy. Henry supports expanding public healthcare and holding HMOs accountable for poor care; however, he also is in favor of upholding the death penalty and is against gun control. The governor supports tax cuts for the lower and middle classes and believes in keeping the income tax; he also supports using the "War on Drugs" strategy to combat methanphetamine use within his state"
Hm...I see nothing in there that would prevent me from supporting him, though I do question what the abortion answer means. My death penalty position is that it should be legal but not used...he seems like a hanging judge, but that's again not a huge concern with me.
Before anyone leaps on the "War on Drugs" line, I'm pretty damn strongly opposed to the meth epidemic. It's definitely a case where a zero tolerance approach appeals to me.
I don't know how anybody could be against a zero tolerance approach to meth, considering how nasty the drug is.
