Senate candidates stay serious on campaign trail view story

| "I proved in Altus that I am not very smooth," Tom Coburn said last week.
Coburn was back in Altus to raise money for his U.S. Senate campaign, returning to the scene of the "craphead" comment, and he was trying a little self-deprecating humor.
Humor is in somewhat short supply in the race to succeed retiring U.S. Sen. Don Nickles. There's some biting sarcasm, some sneering and mocking.
But Coburn, a Muskogee Republican, and Democratic U.S. Rep. Brad Carson were mostly ultra-serious in campaign appearances last week.
