Ad Hits Rice as Being ``Too Liberal'' OKLAHOMA CITY, OK (kccu-fm) - ``Too liberal for Oklahoma.'' That line used frequently by Republicans against their Democratic foes is the theme of a new television ad by incumbent Senator Jim Inhofe attacking Democrat Andrew Rice.

In the commercial, a female announcer discusses Rice's record on taxes and social issues such as traditional marriage and abortion.

The ad shows an unflattering photograph of Rice at the beginning, a photo of a longer-haired Rice as a young man and ends aligning him with a photo of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, who has been faring poorly in polls in Oklahoma.

A state senator from Oklahoma City, Rice on Tuesday referred to the ad as an example of ``gutter politics'' he says has characterized Inhofe's political career of over 40 years. © Copyright 2009, kccu-fm
