OK-Gov: Fallin Posts Big Leads Over Top Dems in Own Poll

The Tarrance Group for Mary Fallin ("June", likely voters):

Drew Edmondson (D): 37
Mary Fallin (R): 53

Jari Askins (D): 35
Mary Fallin (R): 54
(MoE: �4%)

This poll is both dusty and Republican, but I could easily buy those numbers as reasonably accurate. Duplicating the Brad Henry Miracle of 2002 seems like a pretty tall order for a Democrat next year, especially in a state where the bottom has fallen out from under the national Democratic brand over the past two cycles. (Not to mention the gradual but persistent losses that Oklahoma Dems have accumulated on the state legislative level.)

SSP currently rates this race as Lean Republican.

2. The Repukes here are already bragging that

they're going to be able to win all the races at the next election for a total GOP majority. Unfortunately, I think they may be right. Scares me to death . . . .

4. I have friends back in OK that took part in Cash for Clunkers and are working on ARRA projects

and still rail against the president. I take pleasure in pointing out to them that our new president is responsible for those good deals and construction work. It blows their little racist minds.

5. I would like to think

that whoever runs against her, and she starts spewing her "Faith, Family and Freedom" swill, will
have the courage to ask her why she's a single mother. Also, why she was making such googley eyes
at Obama after his inaugural address to congress. Alas, I fear that she will be a shoe-in by the mere
fact that she's a republican and there is no video of her eating little christian babies.

Lordy, I'm surrounded by people wrapped in cocoons of stupid.
