J.D. JOHANNES WRITES:

A little heads up. With Rep. James Lankford running for Coburn’s seat, his House seat OK-5 will be open.

Lt. Colonel Steve Russell (Ret.) is very likely to run. He served at term in the OK State Senate shortly after retiring from the Army.

Here’s a story I did about him for TIME. Took him back to Iraq, totally un-emebedded, to the street where in 2003 he wasted some of Sadaam’s goons.

Cool.
