Senate 2008: Oklahoma

Two new ads out in Oklahoma – one from the incumbent Sen. Inhofe (R-OK) and one from his Democratic opponent State Sen. Andrew Rice. Inhofe's one claim to fame -- he is one of the biggest skeptics in the Senate when it comes to global warming and uses every opportunity to deny global warming or its effects.

Inhofe's ads hammer Rice for being too liberal while Rice attacks Inhofe’s support of Bush policies. Sound familiar? It's the same old playbook, different state. At least Andrew Rice’s ad is visually compelling and innovative.

Inhofe's ad, on the other hand, is full of scary gay people and the usual liberal targets. Given Oklahoma's conservative bent, though, Rice faces an uphill battle.
