Maybe he'll be a viable Senate candidate in the future. Oklahoma really needs representation that really cares about their constituents--luckily, it IS one red (blue for us, I guess) state where Democrats are REGULARLY elected--unlike Ohio and New Hampshire (prior to 2004, but still with two out of the 11 senators that never co-sponsored the lynching apology).
My prediction: Henry will break 60%.

But will he have any coattails in the State House elections?

No matter how popular Henry might be, barring an Istook major scandal or a herrendously horrible candidate, I think Henry can't break 57 or 58%.

I anticipate Istook's withdrawl from the race.

I like the thought of a President Henry.

Not sure why.

I'd definitely like to see Henry run for Senator in the future. At the very least he'd make the race pretty close.

Same was said of Brad Carson Sad

And it was. I still think he would have beaten Humphreys.

The sad thing is that moderate Republican candidates like Humphreys (or Corker in TN, Foley in FL) often have a much more difficult time in general elections in some southern states. Humphreys would have been the best possible Senator for Oklahoma, but would have faced a more difficult general than Coburn did.

Henry wouldn't win in a presidential year, but if he runs in 2010 who knows?

Oh yes. (Not sure if it's true in Florida; might depend on the opposition.)
