With a week to go in Election Year 2008, The Gadfly sticks his skinny neck out to predict results in some races.

State Senate: Republicans take control for the first time in history by winning a 1-seat (possibly two) majority. Among the Democrat losers: Senator Nancy Riley of Tulsa.

U. S. Senate: Incumbent Republican Jim Inhofe notches another win, taking 56-59 percent of the vote to 39-42 percent for challenger Andrew Rice.

President: Republicans John McCain and Sarah Palin mark Oklahoma as their best state in the nation, winning 61-64 percent to the 35-38 percent of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
