From NewsOn6.com:
However it turns out, Oklahoma’s 2010 gubernatorial race will be significant.
The next governor of Oklahoma will have to deal with a legislature that is controlled by Republicans in both houses. The state has never had a Republican governor who was in power at the same time Republicans had the majority numbers in the Legislature.
But an even bigger factor may be who is running for governor this year.
Two of the four candidates seeking to replace Democratic Gov. Brad Henry are women — one Republican and one Democrat. Oklahoma has never elected a female governor.
