There will be so many folks running for this open statewide seat, both Republicans and Democrats, that candidates will have to campaign in shifts! From NewsOK.com:
Two Democratic lawmakers are looking at running for lieutenant governor in 2010 now that Lt. Gov. Jari Askins said she’ll run for governor.
Rep. John Carey of Durant and Sen. Kenneth Corn of Poteau said Tuesday they are studying whether to run for the statewide office.
Corn said he would make a decision next week, and Carey said he would wait until at least Askins, a Democrat elected lieutenant governor in 2006, makes a formal announcement. Askins has sent letters to supporters stating she plans to run for governor instead of seeking re-election.
