Anyone else watch on C-SPAN (no joke, the governmental boring channel broadcast it) or OETA last night? I did, even if it meant missing the Packers first few touchdowns. How was I supposed to know the Vikings would suck as much as they did?!
Anyway, if you missed, you can see the hour-ish thing in its entirety here:

I must say that I was hoping for a legit reason to vote for Dorman, but it just wasn't there. The clear difference between them is not R and D, but rather, that one will do the ACA thing and one will continue to say Oklahoma can't afford it... and that will make no difference, because the governor, whether R or D, will get overrridden by the Republican majority state House and state Senate if they dare encroach on the anti-Obamacare thing going on right now.
Dorman started as the weed candidate, but weed didn't even get mentioned last night and there were two possible opportunities--- prison population and healthcare. And they were even on a college campus (OSU, where they both went).
Now, Dorman's the anti-Fallin/Barresi candidate that is getting grouped with Obama in nasty TV ads as the poll margins are closing... but really, will our extremely red state cast our votes for Democratic governor like we did for Brad Henry?
I say no, unless Brad Henry himself is allowed to run again. If they wouldn't pick a qualfied candidate like Jari Askins over Mary Fallin, Joe Dorman doesn't stand much chance.
What say you?
