OK: Republicans Lead Lt. Governor and Attorney General Races

From Tulsa World:

There, the incumbent one-term Democrat, Kim Holland, has a lead over the Republican nominee, John Doak, of 43 percent to 41 percent – within the poll’s margin of error.

Holland is the senior statewide officer on the ballot, having been appointed to the office in 2005 after the resignation of Carroll Fisher.

With the retirements of Attorney General Drew Edmondson and State Superintendent Sandy Garrett, the decision by Treasurer Scott Meacham not to seek another term and the choice by Lt. Gov. Jari Askins to run for governor, the only other elected incumbent on Tuesday’s statewide ballot is Labor Commissioner Lloyd Fields, a surprise winner in 2006.

Fields, a Democrat, trails Mark Costello, an Oklahoma City businessman, 46 percent to 33 percent in the latest Oklahoma Poll survey conducted Oct. 18-23.

Costello, who has put more than $480,000 of his own money into the race, has a huge funding advantage over Fields, but money does not appear to necessarily be the deciding factor in the races.
