It would be awesome if J.C. Watts were to come out of retirement, but word has it that he's happy where he is. Congressman Ernest Istook and Oklahoma City Mayor Kirk Humphreys are the names most mentioned on the Republican side. On the 'Rat side, a poll says that state Attorney General Drew Edmondson is leading Congressman Brad Carson. In fact, Drew Edmondson's father, a former Congressman, ran near-successful races for the U.S. Senate in 1972 and 1974. If the race is difined as conservative versus liberal, the Republicans win easily. But if it's between a city-slicker Republican and a rural Democrat, the 'Rats could really win this one. Is there any chance that Congressman Frank Lucas could run? No one can accuse Lucas of being a city-slicker.

Istook can take down either of the two Democrats you mentioned, although I concede to you that Drew Edmondson would be easier to defeat.
