Hillary Promotes Rice

State Sen. Andrew Rice’s latest telethon-like plea for funds (Just another $15,000 to reach our goal!) includes a link to a message recorded for him by Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Rice, an Oklahoma City Democrat, is running against Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa.

What a difference six years makes! Or maybe it’s just a different type of candidate, but, in 2002, former Oklahoma Congressman Brad Carson, a Democrat, wouldn’t accept a campaign donation from Clinton’s political action committee.

“Senator Clinton is loved in many areas and very controversial in others. Given that sharp divide in opinion, I felt it best to not accept campaign contribution from her leadership PAC,” Carson said then.

Earlier this year, Clinton, of New York, won every single congressional district in Oklahoma in the Democratic presidential primary.
