Winning him over

The Oklahoman (letter to the editor)

I haven't been a fan of U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn. I voted against him and had plans to campaign against him. However, when I read the story on Coburn in GQ magazine, I was won over. Oklahomans should take a look at it. It's good to know that in such polarizing times, our representative is doing what is seemingly the right thing to do whether or not he gains any friends in Washington. He looks past what the media hype up as "big” issues and does the real work of a representative.

I commend him for his public service; if he runs again, this time I'm with him.
