"He also has promised to be a citizen legislator and serve no more than two terms."

I hope this is one promise he breaks...or at least that he gives the good people of Oklahoma the chance to elect him again after his two terms.

Then again...that puts us out to what....2016? Interesting year, don't you think? Assuming either that in 2008 we (or the other party) elect a Prez who serves two terms, then he could run for an open seat.

Or we elect a Prez in 2008 who serves one term, then we lose the White House to a challenger in 2012, then under either of those scenarios, Coburn could run.

Under a third scenario, where the other party elects a one-termer in 08, and we put in a replacement in 12...Then in that scenario he couldn't really run in 2016.

However, even under that scenario, he could wait it out and run in 2020. He was after all four years between his House and Senate careers.

As of right now, Coburn is one of the few true conservatives out there. He is not as polished as say, Mike Pence, and therefore doesn't have that Reaganesque-ness about him. BUT....the man is a true, fearless conservative. I would be delighted if he ran for PRez.
