Don't base it on Oklahoma as we have some of the worst candidates ever. Henry hasn't done anything and runs as a conservative Dem even though he isn't. He made deals with the Republican House of Reps here all the time instead of the Dems.
Look for Hiett to close the gap and beat Askins.
Istook has been a horrible candidate since day one for a variety of reasons including Abramhoff.
GOP is going to do just fine here in OK in our Federal elections. It is the statewide races that are bad. Also look for us to take the OK Senate and keep the House because we have a lot of good candidates running there as well. If J.C. had run for Governor, it would be a whole different story and Henry would be toast.
I'm really, really hoping that Watts runs for either Governor or Senator in the near future. He's too talented to let him get away with only 8 years in the house.
J.C. Watts is a distant memory in Oklahoma. He's got less name cred then Istook does.
