I told you so: Carson out in OK

I said before that Brad Carson’s own polling looked bad for him to take back his old Congressional seat in Oklahoma.

By request, we look at a 2012 House race today. PPP polled Oklahoma’s second district for the Friends of Brad Carson. Carson, a Democrat, of course won this seat previously in 2000 and 2002, giving it up in 2004 in a failed Senate run. Dan Boren, also a Democrat, won the seat in 2004 and has held it ever since. Boren is retiring, so Carson wants to run.
Is he in good shape, like PPP says he is?
