She can't get >50% in Oklahoma? = fail.

People are not happy with the way she has handled education, and Dorman may have an opening if he can use that enough to his advantage.

Dorman may have an opening if he can use that enough to his advantage.

This is Mary Fallin we're talking about. It shouldn't be too hard to find an opening.

While this race will probably end up being closer than most other statewide races, it is still very unlikely that Dorman will win.  I think the best chance for Democrats to pick up a statewide office this year will be the State Superintendent position.  If Dorman wins it would probably have to come on the coattails of a win by the Democratic nominee for State Superintendent (either John Cox or Freda Deskin).

cbannon5, does Henry have legal standing on the term limits issue to allow him to seek the governorship again four years from now ?
