We’re not even to the 2008 primary, and someone may be already in 2010 campaign mode.

So why was State Rep. John Wright doing in Hollis over the weekend? Inquiring minds might just think the Broken Arrow conservative is sizing up a run for statewide office in 2010. Located in southwest Oklahoma near the Texas border, Hollis is known for being the birthplace of Darrell Royal and the fact that there are very few Republicans in Harmon County. Rep. Wright is known as a staunch conservative and even challenged then-Speaker Lance Cargill for that office last fall at the height of Cargill’s campaign finance scandal.

Two-term governor Brad Henry won’t be on the ballot in 2010, and insiders say that Wright would represent an attractive choice for the conservative wing of the party.

This coming Tuesday, February 5th, Oklahomans will head to the polls to vote for their favorite Presidential Candidate in their party. There are several other candidates and issues to vote on at that time, as well. This weekend is a good time to do our homework so that we’ll be able to make informed choices on Tuesday. For a little help on that, here are some online resources:

• The Family Research Council: 2008 Presidential Voter Guide: “We drilled down on the issues important to the family so as to discover not only a candidate’s position, but the depth of that position. We have provided footnotes as reference guides to substantiate our findings. The footnotes also serve as further reading as you continue to contemplate your decision.”

Congress.org By Capitol Advantage: Gives an easy-to-read breakdown of important election-year dates and races, as well as an interactive “See All My Candidates” feature.

Vote411 – Supported by the League of Women Voters Educational Fund: This site has information about what issues are on the ballot, voter registration (a little late for Tuesday, but good info for the election in November), early and absentee voting and much more.

In Norman, the Chamber of Commerce has provided information online about the city council candidates, here.

And then, of course, there is is the official OK State Election Board guide online, which is the go-to place for downloading forms and information. Also, it will be updated after 7pm on Tuesday with the results of the Presidential Primaries as they are tabulated.
