The GOP candidates are offering an early preview of their July 29th showdown. The challenge by Rob Johnson of Dana Murphy's candidacy is so technical in nature, that the 11th Commandment seems to be completely forgotten, Reagan is surely rolling in his grave. It seems as if Murphy, the former State GOP Vice-Chair will survive Johnson's challenge of her candidacy. However unclear is whether she will survive Johnson's better fund primary run. One thing does remain clear this primary race will be very costly and surely won't be a pretty one to watch.

Oh and by the way, while the GOP candidates will be blowing hundreds of thousands running against each other, the Democratic incumbent will be raising hundreds of thousands of dollars. Jim Roth already reported $175,000 as of the April 1st. I wouldn't be surprised if Roth takes $300,000 in the 3rd quarter alone. The list of Roth's honorary chairman explains it all: Aubrey McClendon, George Kaiser, Harold Hamm and Clayton Bennentt.
