On the eve of the historic OU/Texas football game, Former University of Oklahoma and Dallas Cowboys championship coach Barry Switzer today endorsed Congressman Brad Carson for United States Senate calling Carson, "the only candidate in this race who we can trust to fight for Oklahoma."

 

"Brad Carson is a good Oklahoma conservative who will work with both political parties to make Oklahoma better," said Coach Barry Switzer. "I will tell you this, I wouldn't be supporting the Congressman if he was a liberal.  However, I am supporting him because he is the only candidate in this race who has put forth a detailed plan to stop the loss of jobs in our state, improve education for our children and fight for our state's fair share of funding. We can trust Brad Carson to fight for Oklahoma and for the values of the people of our state."

 

It surprises me that Switzer is a Democrat (well, sort of.. more of the moderate/yellow dog type of Democrat).. but it appears that Brad Carson got an endorsement from one of the more esteemed figures in his state. And a good soundbyte too since Coburn is claiming Carson is a liberal. Coburn is also claiming that his race against Carson is a battle of "good and evil", which means that Coach Switzer has been recruited by evil.

 

(as for previous statements, Switzer endorsed Brad Henry, a Democrat, for Governor and Henry beat Steve Largent, along with John Edwards, who lost the Oklahoma primary by just 1216 votes to Clark.)

 

For some of you, this could reinforce the idea that Switzer is a criminal (ha), or a bad man. But, even if Carson could lose Stillwater, it doesn't hurt to have this endorsement in Oklahoma.

Am I the only one who finds the amount of influence college football and basketball coaches carry in some states to be ridiculous? I mean, if Coach K endorsed David Duke I'm sure every slobbering idiot on the Duke campus would be lining up to vote for him.
