Coburn has made another pledge and that is to not run again when his current term is up. Therefore he needs money from no one (his family has millions of dollars) and he needs endorsements from no one. Grover is making threats against him with nothing to back them up.

Coburn did all the right stuff to get elected last November. He put holds on over 250 bills and therefore shut-down the Senate while he hoped it would swing Republicans after the elections. After he was re-elected he told most of his handlers to take a hike and has since then been doing what he wants to.

Oklahoma, which is where he is from, produces a lot of oil and gas and very little corn. Oklahoma also has some very clean air as there is little industry here outside of Tulsa and OKC. Gas without E is everywhere and normally at the same cost as E gas.

It looks as if he is trying to do something for the US as a whole and does not want to be remember as a Republican Stooge. I don't know him myself, but people who do predicted this would happen if he was re-elected.

Hopefully others will follow his lead and start to think for themselves.
