Oklahoma Senate Republicans Roll out the Red Carpet; For Obama

From oksenategop.com:

Echoing Governor Henry’s invitation for Presidential candidate Barack Obama to campaign in Oklahoma, Senate Co-President Pro Tem Glenn Coffee offered to roll out the red carpet for the Democrat standard-bearer.

“Speaking on behalf of all Oklahoma Republicans, and in the spirit of true bi-partisanship, I want to join Governor Henry in inviting Barack Obama to Oklahoma. We’ll break out all of the hospitality we can if Obama would campaign alongside Nancy Riley, Robert Murphy, Keith Erwin and Richard Lerblance,” said Coffee.

“Senate Republicans would welcome him with open arms,” he continued. “Better yet, let’s take a statewide bus tour.” With public polls showing Obama running a distant second to John McCain in the state, Republicans are eager for a visit by Obama.

Coffee suggested a swing starting in Lawton with Democrat Senate candidate Keith Erwin; north to Stillwater with Senate candidate/judge applicant Robert Murphy; then to Tulsa to go door-to-door with Nancy Riley; and a wrap-up rally in McAlester with Senator Richard Lerblance.
