Oklahoma Governor: What Happened Here?

Posted By | November 7, 2006




Democratic Governor Brad Henry of Oklahoma is winning reelection right now with 67% of the vote. That's incredible on at least three levels:

1) Oklahoma is very Republican state.

2) Henry's opponent was not some gadfly, but rather a sitting U.S. congressman.

3) Henry's victory in 2002 was widely considered a fluke.
