Inhofe's dominoes: Cong. Markwayne Mullin announces bid for Senate seat

Here starts the domino effect of U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe's retirement: 2nd District Congressman Markwayne Mullin is launching his campaign for the United States Senate seat being vacated by Inhofe.

Mullin made his bid official in a short-and-sweet video on Twitter:

Mullin's candidacy will open up the 2nd Congressional District seat. Expect a crowded race there as well.

Some think that State House Speaker Charles McCall will be running, but I don't expect that, to be honest. I think he'll stay out. There will likely be some current or former legislators that toss their hat in the ring.
