I thought Brad Henry was running for another term.  Interesting setup.

Who do you think will win, BushOklahoma?

In the Republican primaries for Governor, Ernest Istook is almost a shoe-in to face Brad Henry.  For Lt Governor, its a real toss-up between Pruitt and Hiett as they've both been caking each other with so much mud you can't see them.  For Congress, its a 5-way race excluding Johnny Roy.  I voted for Fred Morgan, but any of the other 4 would be excellent candidates and they would probably win the general election.

For Governor, I voted for Jim Williamson; Lt Governor, Todd Hiett; and Congress, Fred Morgan.
