From NewsOk.com:
Next year’s Democratic gubernatorial primary race shaped up Wednesday as an expensive showdown between two popular statewide elected officials.
Attorney General Drew Edmondson, who announced his intention Wednesday to run for governor in 2010, said he will need to raise between $5 million and $6 million to run a campaign for both the primary and general election races.
“It’s going to be a very expensive race,” he said.
Fellow Democrat Lt. Gov. Jari Askins said she would need to raise several million dollars for the campaign when she announced earlier this year she is seeking the post.
