Wright's Challenge Of Cargill Likely To Fail?
Some Republican members of the State House say Rep. John Wright's challenge of House Speaker Lance Cargill (left) for the speaker's post in 2009-10 is likely to fail.
Wright (right), of Broken Arrow, says he'll run for speaker when Republican House members caucus in Ardmore this week. Wright is chairman of the caucus and says his candidacy isn't as much about Cargill as it is to give Republican House members a choice.
Cargill has described Wright's challenge as "a healthy process."
Rep. Gregg Piatt says he expects a motion to delay the vote on the future speaker; others say Wright doesn't have the votes to unseat Cargill from the post.
Wright's challenge of Cargill comes as the Ethics Commission investigates GOP fundraising efforts headed by Cargill.
