A somewhat troubling dynamic in this race:

Carson is considered a relatively conservative Democrat and voted to support President George W. Bush's tax cut package in 2001. The congressman also supported efforts to immediately and permanently eliminate the estate tax and accelerate child tax credits in 2003, according to a spokesman.

Given that Humphreys has supported tax increases as mayor, some officials believe Carson could position himself to the right of Humphreys in a general election.

Yeah, that is a little troubling. With all the solid, electable conservatives in that state, I would hope that one of them will throw their hat into this race.

President Bush has to come to Oklahoma and campaign for Humphrey's. It is a must! Republicans must work very hard this year to hang on to that seat. I hope we learned well from 2002.
