Edmondson Confirms Governor Interest

Attorney General Drew Edmondson, in an expected announcement, says he will not seek re-election in 2010, but instead is considering running for governor.

The 62-year-old Democrat said Wednesday he won't make a formal announcement on a gubernatorial bid until the latter part of next year.

Edmondson's decision had been expected for some time. His name has been at the top of the list of those known to be considering the governor's race. Others include Lt. Governor Jari Askins, a Democrat, and Republicans Congressman Tom Cole and Congresswoman Mary Fallin.
