54% Believe Henry Will Seek Senate Seat

Fifty-four percent of those who voted in The McCarville Report Online's poll believe Governor Brad Henry will run for the U. S. Senate in 2008. Eight percent said they "doubt" he will run and 38 percent said he will not. Thirty-one percent said he'll run and they were joined by 23 percent who said he'll run and added that he can beat incumbent Republican Jim Inhofe. Twenty-seven percent said he won't run and they were joined by 11 percent who said he can't beat Inhofe, who has now held the seat for 12 years and been elected three times (1994, 1996, 2002). Henry has given no indication that he'll seek the Senate seat, but speculation he'll consider doing so began immediately after his landslide victory over Congressman Ernest Istook in this year's race for governor.
