I am from Oklahoma and about as conservative as you can get as well as Republican.

I would vote for Bill Clinton before I'd vote for Frank Keating. He is nothing but a politician and when the mandatory term limit on the Oklahoma Governorship hit he ran his wife for US Representative from the Tulsa district.

I wasn't too crazy over him before his wife ran for US Rep from the Tulsa District and after she was defeated the comments made me have no respect for him whatsoever.

All he was looking for was a ticket back to Washington.

He is nothing but a politician

Amen, Keating = carpetbagger, prime example being how quickly he latched onto a DC job after leaving the governorship.

Also, if your sig-line means you are a cop, check the blue line locker room scuttlebutt on Keating son Chip's short stint as an OHP trooper.

BTW, B.S. 12/77 OSU here.

If Frank Keating was "nothing but a politician" and "just wanted to get back to Washington," wouldn't it have made more sense for him to run for Largent's vacated House seat himself instead of supporting his wife's bid? Frank Keating would have annihilated Sullivan in the primary (in fact, Sullivan probably wouldn't have run).

Mrs. Keating ran for Congress because she wanted to go to Congress, not because Frank Keating needed to ride on her coattails in order to move to Washington.
