Coburn Says No To 2010 Governor's Race
Senator Tom Coburn says he has no interest in running for governor in 2010 and that he'll wait until spring to decide if he wants to seek reelection to the Senate.
Coburn, known as "Doctor No" for his opposition to pork barrel spending in Congress, is serving his first term in the Senate after his previous service in the House. He quit the House on his own.
Speculation on possible GOP candidates for governor now focuses on Congressman Tom Cole and Congresswoman Mary Fallin. Both have discussed the possibility with supporters. Senate President Pro Tem Glenn Coffee's name also is being mentioned, as is the name of Rep. Randy Terrill, known primarily for his sponsorship of the state's controversial new immigration law.
