Ernest Istook is currently the U.S. Representative from OK-05. Todd Hiett is the Speaker of the House, and Jari Askins is the House Minority Leader. The incumbent LT Gov is Mary Fallin who is the GOP nominee to replace Istook in the 5th District.

Askins has improved one point since the last Survey USA poll. Henry has improved by five points.

How is this possible in Oklahoma?

DemocRATS running as Republicans lite.

if Brad Henry can win in OK by more than 10 points he will be the top Dem VP Candidate in 2008.


There must be someway Henry can be beaten.

If this is any indication of Democrat prospects this election, the GOP is in for a bloodbath. I suspect six years of unrelenting negative propaganda from the MSM against Bush and the GOP Congress -- negative propaganda which has largely gone unanswered and unrebutted (if that's a word) -- is about to have it's effect this November. The only good news about a Democrat wipe-out of Republicans is that it comes this year, and hopefully will have the effect of a major slap in the face to feckless national Republicans, and will enable to party to regroup for 2008.

Ever notice that even the most Liberal Republican struggle to get reelected in a blue state, while a Conservative phony Dem or a moderate( Oklahoma,Arizona etc) incumbent breeze through reelection?

Another "bad news" poll posted by you? This really is becoming a pattern. It's almost like you're hoping to depress the Republican vote or something...
