Carey Says Lt. Governor Race Likely

Rep. John Carey of Durant says there is a "99.9 percent chance" he'll run for lieutenant governor in 2010.

The 38-year-old Democrat told The Durant Daily Democrat Tuesday he expects to make a formal announcement in June.

One other Democrat already has announced plans to seek the post — Senator Kenneth Corn of Poteau officially launched his campaign in January.

Current Oklahoma Lt. Governor Jari Askins, also a Democrat, has said she will run for governor in 2010.
