A Democrat, wouldn’t you know it.
I just looked him up on Wikipedia, and found two very interesting items:
In the 2002 election for governor, Henry defeated former Republican Congressman Steve Largent, an NFL Hall of Famer, by just over one-half of one percent in a race that also included Independent candidate Gary Richardson, a retired Federal Prosecutor. Henry received 448,143 votes (43.27%) to Largent’s 441,277 votes (42.61%). Richardson, a former republican candidate, received 146,200 votes (14%).

Henry is pro-choice and has vetoed legislation to mandate ultrasound viewings prior to abortion procedures.

On May 27, 2004, Governor Brad Henry issued Executive Order 04-21, which created the Governor’s Ethnic American Advisory Council. [7] The Ethnic American Advisory Council then published an English translation of the Qur’an embossed with the Oklahoma State seal [8] which was then distributed to 149 Oklahoma state legislators. There were 35 lawmakers who declined to accept the copy of the Qur’an that they were offered. [9] After refusing the copy of the Qur’an, Republican State Representative Rex Duncan wrote a letter to his colleagues explaining, “Most Oklahomans do not endorse the idea of killing innocent women and children in the name of ideology.” Further, Duncan said during a TV interview “I think it was inappropriate that they used a state centennial seal on a religious item.”
That’s what you get when a spoiler runs on a third party line and throws the election to a DEMOCRAT.
Unfortunately, Largent ran a very poor campaign, too.
