Although he has not officially made his announcement, Jim Inhofe will likely run for re-election in 2008. Inhofe has an extremely conservative record, calling global warming “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people”. As energy efficiency and global warming increasingly become hot topics, he is on the wrong side of history and Democrats see an opportunity to put up a strong candidate. Inhofe's support of Bush's failed Iraq policies will also hurt him. State Senator Andrew Rice is an exciting Democratic challenger looking to expose Inhofe's weaknesses.
