Of course, there is the possibility that this might now happen, much like the first woman Oklahoma House Speaker chosen did not happen.

As you might recall, Jari Askins was usurped by Todd Hiett because Republicans gained control of the House during the term that Jari was set to take over as state Speaker. The same thing could happen here (however unlikely).

Also, like the U.S. House, if Shannon is not re-elected in 2012, or for some reason is not in office in 2012, Republicans would have to choose someone else.

Still, congrats if this happens!
