State parties spar: State Republican and Democratic party leaders took jabs at each other's candidates last week, with Republicans trying to divert attention from 2nd Congressional District nominee Markwayne Mullin and onto what state Chairman Matt Pinnell called Democratic "gimmies," and Democrats trying to score points on GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney's "47 percent" remark. Early in the week, before Romney's comments became known, Pinnell sent out a release that essentially said Democrats were buying votes with food stamps and health-care coverage at the expense of taxpayers.
A few days later, state Democratic Chairman Wallace Collins asked rhetorically if Pinnell, Mullin and 1st District candidate Jim Bridenstine "agree that 47 percent of the national population does not matter?"
