I even changed my voter registration to Oklahoma so I could vote for him.<br /><br />Also, Corey Brooks, an OBU alum has been elected to the Oklahoma State Senate. Looking at his bio, he is likely every bit as conservative as he was when he was a student whereas I've gone even more to the left than I was when I had fun sparring matches with Corey while we worked on Dr. Litherland's campaign. However, I would think it would be entirely appropriate if OBU invited Corey to give a speech since he is an OBU grad using his political science degree in politics in Oklahoma.<br /><br />http://www.oksenate.gov/Senators/biographies/brooks_bio.aspxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524895972705575613.post-88863407105701734062013-05-06T08:40:52.808-05:002013-05-06T08:40:52.808-05:00I actually somewhat enjoyed this blog post Jacob. ...I actually somewhat enjoyed this blog post Jacob.

Of course, there are none :-)<br /><br />People often forget that, as a young state legislator and political science professor at OBU, David Boren ran his campaign for U.S. Senate (as a Democrat) with the help of OBU and Shawnee friends. Boren resigned from the Senate in 1994 in order to become president of OU. His son, Dan, served in Congress from 2005 to 2013. Both Borens are conservative Democrats.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15050790418399919111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524895972705575613.post-68574014580267866732013-05-03T16:06:35.155-05:002013-05-03T16:06:35.155-05:00Should have said they are against the traditonal C...Should have said they are against the traditonal Conservative SBC view of what the Bible sayskevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524895972705575613.post-77756048547868698342013-05-03T15:16:45.922-05:002013-05-03T15:16:45.922-05:00I do mot think a Democrat will speak anytime soon....I do mot think a Democrat will speak anytime soon.
