Walters gaining momentum
Trims Inhofe lead by five points
Despite the impression advanced by the Inhofe campaign, polling indicates
David Walters is trending closer to the career politician in the race
for United States Senate.
Just one week ago, Inhofe boasted of a 24-point lead in his own poll.
Days later, KFOR-Channel Four in Oklahoma City showed Inhofe leading
by 22 percentage points. Thursday evening, KFOR will release it's
most recent statewide poll showing Governor Walters has narrowed the
gap to just 17 percentage points. 800 adults were surveyed statewide.
The new results show Walters has gained seven points on the long-time
politician Inhofe in just one week.

Tulsa, OK -
The U.S. Senate campaign won't be about significant issues, if incumbent
Republican Jim Inhofe has his way. It will revolve around a 10-year-old
misdemeanor of his opponent former Gov. David Walters. It was a
matter of time before the mild Dr. Jekyll of Inhofe's television
commercials turned into the snarling Mr. Hyde of Inhofe, the political
gut fighter.

Senate debate begins in earnest
By Brian Barber

Oklahoma City, OK - A series of joint appearances for the main candidates
is slated before the Nov. 5 election.
The main candidates for U.S. Senate are considered 500-pound gorillas
in the political jungle.
Democrat David
Walters is a former Oklahoma governor, while Republican incumbent
Jim Inhofe has held nearly every other position possible, including
Tulsa mayor, state legislator, U.S. representative and, since 1994,
senator.
But their political
experience is where the men's similarities end.
To hear Walters
describe him, Inhofe is a "right-wing fanatic" who's "so
out of touch with what Oklahomans care about that it's scary."
