I've watched the commercials for both and the thing I keep wondering is why is Askins defending herself against Fallin's BS?
Why not just state "I have more experience and will do a better job. Do you want to someone like that for Governor of Oklahoma or just someone who hates the President of the United States?"?
Jari Askins response to Mary Fallin was a claim that she's an "Oklahoma Conservative" because she didn't vote for TARP. Well yea, Ms Askins was Lt Govenor in 2008, not in Congress so she couldn't vote for it. Askins doesn't claim to be against TARP, just that she didn't vote for it so that is a reason why she's an "Oklahoma Conservative"?
Considering democrat party leaders in the House such as Pelosi, Hoyer and Frank voted in favor of TARP in 2008, you really believe Askins would have gone rogue and voted no if she had the opportunity?
Askins is not not an "Oklahoma Conservative" as the commercial claimed. Sorry, that's a Dukakis in the tank moment that hurt what little chance she had by presenting herself as something she's not.
