Henry, Boren Urge Obama Visit

Governor Brad Henry says he and University of Oklahoma President David Boren have been talking to Barack Obama's campaign about bringing the Democratic presidential nominee to Oklahoma.

Such a visit seems unlikely, given Obama's dismal showing in state polls and the fact Oklahoma has but seven electoral votes.

Oklahoma has not given a Democratic presidential contender the nod since 1964 when President Lydon Johnson of Texas was the party's nominee.
