The Gadfly's Fearless Prognostications II
State House: Make it a 1-seat addition for Republicans, padding their present majority.
State Senate, Revisited: Make it a 2-seat pickup for Republicans, giving them control for the first time in state history.
Short-Term Corporation Commission: Republican Dana Murphy should be leading this one, but a weak campaign and failure to define Democrat incumbent Jim Roth early, plus being outspent on television and overall, likely puts this squeaker in the "D" win column. It won't be by a wide margin. Best guess (but don't bet money on it): Roth by 2-5 percent based almost totally on the vote in Tulsa County...however...this one isn't over until the votes are counted and Roth's perceived weakness in rural counties could give the win to Murphy.
Long-Term Corporation Commission: Republican incumbent Jeff Cloud defeats Democrat Charles Gray, Cloud at 56-59 percent, Gray at 41-44 percent. Recapping: McCain-Palin by what may be a record margin; Inhofe in a walk.
