I just Venmoed a parent from my kid’s class and her user name ended with a 95. I’m going to assume she is a big Dolly Parton fan and not 20 years younger than me.

I think John Sununu and Mike Rogers would win tie breakers vs. Hern based on previous Senate and House service on the Republican side (if they win of course).

My favorite academic email is when they announce a new person to replace the retiring person for a position and office you never knew existed.

The law is slightly different now. Inhofe keeps popping up in these cases. Sen. Armstrong replaced Mullin who was serving the rest of Inhofe’s term.

I’m up here in Canada and someone asked where I was from. When I said Oklahoma they said they were jealous of our politics. It took all of my powers to not respond or ask a follow up.

I'm working on an assignment for class where students are allowed to use AI to predict all of the House and Senate elections and a five page summary. Any advice on the AI side to put in the assignment? At a minimum, I want them to turn in their prompts.

Had some fun trying to think about how to dramatize voters' choices in the 2024 election, so I pulled CES data and let you guess how respondents (validated voters) actually voted (or said they did) in 2024. profmusgrave.github.io/votergame2024/

Who did I vote for?

I want to thank @timnokken.bsky.social and the team at JOP for putting together this virtual issue in memory of David Rohde. It features articles he wrote with coauthors as well as articles by his students. 1/2 www.journals.uchicago.edu/journals/jop...

When you wonder why there is a rock on the windowsill in the house but then you touch the rock and it turns out it is not a rock but a tree frog. Good times.

It's worth noting that congress more or less operates under similar rules where members own their records with exceptions for committee materials.

The Dolly Parton station is on and 9-5 comes on. I tell kiddo this song comes from a movie that says women can be the boss and are just as smart as men. Kiddo tells me that's right because boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider and girls go to college to get more knowledge. Can't argue with that.

I'm old enough that we didn't wear helmets riding bikes and I think it explains a lot about me.

It looks like turnout will be a little over 300,000 with a little over 150k for each candidate. Oklahoma's voting age population is around 3 million. This means about 10% of the voting age population voted in the Republican runoff. Half of them voted for the winner tonight.

000

An added twist to the Oklahoma race is the state party endorsed Mazzei too.

110

Mazzei still up by a touch with 75% precincts reporting. Lots of votes left in Oklahoma (OKC) and Tulsa counties.

100

An interesting tidbit about this race is the OKGOP made an endorsement for Mazzei.

100

With 17% of precincts reporting, the race has narrowed a bit 52-48.

100

Credit to the NY Times but results are looking very regional with Drummond winning the the north and western parts of the state and Mazzei the eastern areas. Roger's county, potential home of the Inola smelter has not reports. Mazzie is for (now) and Drummond is against.

100

That would be just some of the early and absentee votes. A second dump came in and Drummond is still up. 54-46

Mike Crespin @mikecrespin.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Gentner Drummond is leading Mike Mazzei 53%-47% in the Oklahoma Gubernatorial election with just early and absentee votes reported. Mazzei is the Trump endorsed candidate. Drummond is distantly related to the Pioneer Woman!

I'm no war historian but did go to school in Upsate New York. I'm pretty sure America tried to invade Canada twice and failed both times.

OU has been at 4.5% draw (of a rolling average) for awhile. We stepped down from 5 when I started.
