With Clock Ticking, No Sign Of Cargill

As the clock ticks to today's 5 p.m. deadline for filing for office, former House Speaker Lance Cargill, R-Harrah, has not yet filed for re-election and the guessing game about his political plans continues.

Cargill, who resigned the speaker's post just before the start of this year's session because of personal tax problems, has said he would file for re-election. However, sources at the Capitol told The McCarville Report Online last week that he would not. There's been nothing from Cargill himself.

Mike Idleman, 41, a Republican from Choctaw, and Dianne Hunter, 58, a Democrat from Edmond, filed for the House District 96 seat.
