OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- NFL star-turned-congressman Steve Largent took a step toward Oklahoma's highest office Tuesday, easily winning the Republican primary in the race to succeed Gov. Frank Keating, who is being forced from office by term limits.

The Democratic primary was headed to a runoff between a millionaire businessman and a state legislator.

Several interesting races noted....

"In a local race with wider overtones, Oklahoma County District Attorney Wes Lane defeated lawyer Mickey Homsey in a nasty Republican primary.

Lane wants to try Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols, who is already jailed for life, on state charges that would carry the death penalty. Homsey wanted to drop the case."

Ping to this part.

Make Terry talk before he dies.
