Jim Rogers on the Issues.
Senator Jim Rogers, D-Oklahoma
OK, ARE YOU A YELLOW DOG DEMOCRAT OR NOT?
NOW IS THE TIME TO PROVE IT.
Tom Coburn is going to win another term to the United States Senate. For sure he is, say the pundits because the Democrats are running a perennial loser against him. A guy who won't even campaign. Well who gives a damn who he is ? He ain't Tom Coburn and he ain't a Republican.
Yellow Dog Democrat: "Over the years, when I have called myself a "Yellow Dog Democrat," I always am amazed that so many folks have never heard the term. Here is a simple definition of Yellow Dog Democrats: If the only candidate on the Democratic ticket is an old cur yellow dog running against a highly regarded Republican, we would vote for the yellow dog. Period. A handful of Yellow Dogs may actually like some Republicans, but hardly any of us trust Republicans to run government, especially the federal government. We are, according to Just Politics, "unswerving" party loyalists."
By Damn and By golly it is time for some Yellow Dogs to bite the Republican's ass.

OKLAHOMA CITY — A man who runs for office nearly every election year but doesn't formally campaign is the Democratic nominee to take on U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., this year.
Jim Rogers, a colorful perennial candidate, walked away the winner of the Democratic primary Tuesday with 65 percent of the vote over an Oklahoma City lawyer with an extensive career in business.
Name recognition and a well-known last name in Oklahoma fueled Rogers' vote totals. The former college professor, who refuses to say where he taught, received 157,926 votes. His opponent, Mark Myles, who worked for IBM for 20 years before he went to law school, got 83,709 votes.
"Names matter," said Ben Odom, a lawyer who is a longtime political consultant. "If you're going to run for office in Oklahoma, you can't have a better name than Rogers."

Vote for this man.
Campaign for this man.
He ain't Tom Coburn.
He ain't a Republican.
Under the Yellow Dog creed he is a QUALIFIED Democrat.
