Inhofe says he's his own man - KJRH.com

Inhofe, one of the Senate's most conservative members, says "the Hollywood crowd" is after him because of his stand against global warming, including filmmaker Robert Greenwald, producer of an online video in which Oklahoma veterans criticize the incumbent's voting record on veterans benefits.

Inhofe, who has called manmade global warming a hoax, paints himself as the Senate counterpart of Richard Pombo, R-Calif. Pombo was upset in a Republican-leaning district two years ago by a little-known Democrat, who drew the backing of environmentalists.

Inhofe has sparred with McCain in the past over such issues as global warming and military procurements, but says he and McCain have patched things up.

After years of disputing global warning, Inhofe holds fast to his belief that he will be proved right by science. He maintains weather changes are cyclical and not caused by manmade pollution.

Gaddie said global warming is not as big an issue in Oklahoma as in California and other areas, perhaps because residents of the state are used to weather extremes.
