I'd heard that, but it seems to me there was already another conservative player in the running but don't recall right off hand who it may have been. The primary might be fun, eh?
I don't know how much more Conservative and Liberty-oriented the other candidate could be, but Brogdon appears to be the real deal
From Wiki: In all of his six years of service OCPAC selected him as "Senate Legislator of the Year." for having the highest conservative voting record in the Senate. In 2005 Senator Brogdon was the first senator in 20 years to receive a 100% on the Conservative Vote Index. For the 2005-2006 legislative session he was elected to a leadership position by his caucus to serve as Senate Republican Whip and in 2007-2008 he served as the Assistant Republican Floor Leader.
In 2007 he was the recipient of the Phyllis Schlafly Oklahoma Eagle Award for his consistent support of Constitutional Conservative legislation.
In 2008 he was appointed as chairman of Appropriation of Transportation and General Government sub-committee.
On April 18, 2009 Senator Brogdon announced his candidacy for Oklahoma Governor in the 2010 election.
From OkeSenate.gov:Since being elected State Senator in 2002, Randy Brogdon has championed legislation such as "The Taxpayer Bill of Rights" (TABOR) and SB 1 "The Taxpayer Transparency Act." In addition, he was successful in leading the charge to opt out of the federal "REAL ID ACT" of 2005.
Randy Brogdon is also the author of SJR 10, otherwise known as the 10th Amendment Resolution. This resolution is designed to protect states rights and prevent the federal government from overexerting its legislative power. His efforts on the 10th Amendment Initiative have brought him national attention from several media outlets across the country. In March of 2009, Senator Brogdon was invited to speak to the Pennsylvania State Legislature about his work on the 10th Amendment Initiative.
Maybe the other candidate is a good guy, but Randy Brodgon's accomplishments look to me like "the gold standard" for what I would hope to find in a candidate for Governor of my State.
Don’t get me wrong, Brogdon is a definite keeper, it’s just that I recall there being another player who might be just as good, or almost as good. Maybe I’ll do some research to see what’s cookin’ in OK.
