OK-Gov: The Darkest and Horsiest race of 2014?

[Maxwell]

According to the Tulsa World, State Rep. and Democrat Joe Dorman outraised Incumbent Governor Mary Fallin in the June-August period. The difference is small, only $28,000, but it definitely shows a change in tide. Still, Dorman has some catching up to do - Fallin has millions in the bank while Dorman is only steadily building his war chest.

However, it's clear momentum is on Dorman's side - His internals have him within a dead heat of the Governor. Take this lightly, it's an internal, but I sincerely believe this has potential to be a dark horse race by October.

Discuss.

It's Oklahoma. I'm pretty sure Jesus (D) would lose to Satan (R), though Jesus might keep it within single digits.

Nah, Brad Henry already beat Ernest Istook

One of his newer ads positions him as more conservative on guns than Mary Fallin (Dorman gets an A+ from the NRA). This certainly gets me more on board than I already am, but it's a good strategy considering the type of Democrats we have in this state (very conservative).

He's sort of sticking to the basics - pro-gun, fiscally responsible, pro-education. Exactly what a Democrat needs to win.

GOP State Senator Patrick Anderson endorses Joe Dorman for Governor after Fallin continually refused to meet with him.
