Very good analysis of the land-of-the-red-man. (Oklahoma means land of the red man). We are a very Republican state while the majority of registered voters are still Democrat. Thats why
Brad Henry won in 2002, albeit by a razor thin margin over former Seattle Seahawk
Steve Largent. He is the early favorite to win a second and final term as Governor. He ranks 10th in approval ratings in the country's governors. He does have two formidable GOP opponents
Lt. Governor Mary Fallin and
Former Congressman JC Watts, Jr..
In Oklahoma, the Governor and Lt Governor run on separate tickets and in the Lt Governor's Race we've got
State House Speaker Todd Hiett (R) and
State House Minority Leader Jari Askins (D), Former Congressman Brad Carson (D) and
Secretary of State Susan Savage (D) among others.
