Third Person

Kevin is wondering how the Republicans for state office--particularly Ernest Istook (Governor) and Todd Hiett (Lt. Gov)--can be doing such a terrible job campaigning. He is also wondering whether the Republicans taking control of the Senate for the first time since statehood--a scenario that seemed extremely likely five months ago--is going to happen. As he reflects on the Lt. Gov campaign, he is secretly happy that Hiett is losing. Kevin supported Scott Pruitt in the primary, and believes that Hiett is not his kind of conservative. However, Kevin is not happy Istook is losing, but is not particularly suprised because Istook has done a rather lousy job of articulating why he would be a better governor than Henry.

Prepare yourself for four more years of pro-gambling government policy in Oklahoma. Yippee.
