I am a registered Republican, but I have a problem with my runner for Govenor, she keeps talking about what shes going to do, but never says how she is going to make these things happen, Jobs, where are they going to come from??? Insurance, to me if they want it to be cheaper quit letting the Insurance companys controll the cost, there is a word call limit. Workers comp well shes for workers comp reform, not the employee that is put in a danger when performing a task. Take Walmart, they dont give them enought pay to leave on, then want them to work part time, so they dont have to include health Insurance. But she thinks we should all have it, how when they leave on so little. "there is a thing call food & housing".

At this time I trust her more than Askins. Mainly because she will continue to fight against illegals in Oklahoma. I am going to go over some voting issues to make my mind up for sure. On everything. The last I heard was that Askins is pro choice where Fallin is pro life. I like Askins stand on that better, but, she does support amnesty for all of these illegals, and tuition. Yep, I'm going with Fallin.

I watched the debate from Tulsa and was disturbed with how often Fallin talked about making Oklahoma friendly for business, about how she visits with business leaders around the state etc.

Couple that heavy, almost exclusive emphasis on doing things for business with this little bomb she dropped in: As Governor, she says, she'll bring people from the "private sector," (see: businessmen), alongside state agency heads to craft joint policies.

In other words, she'll let business dicate standards to the agencies supposed to be regulating them! If that's not promising to let the fox guard the henhouse, I don't know what is. She might as well toss them the key to the state treasury as well!

This is nothing more than typical, Republican pandering to big business at the expense of The People and she's not even ashamed about it!

Fallin talks of standing for reduced government spending and cutting, taxes but the state has already been doing that for a while, and it has resulted in serious shortages in a number of state agencies such as prisons and education. And then I hear on TV about a Republican OKC state representative, David Dank, running for reelection talking like he wants to take a machete at all state government agencies. Just to what extent do Republicans want to eliminate or starve out state government? If government is such an unbearable nuisance to have around for Republicans, then why don't they just advocate selling it off piece by piece to the highest bidders from the private enterprise sector?

I'm voting Democrat for governor for the first time in my life. I'm a registered Republican and have always voted straight Republican but not this year.

It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that the Democrat candidate is from Duncan, would it?

I don't like the negative campaign and the personal attacks of Fallin. I am voting for Jeri.

[debbie at bouontiful]

I just plain voted against Obama's agenda. Didn't really care for Fallin but was looking for someone that might beable to say NO and I guess as a punishment to the health care and Stimulus junk. Never in my life have I been this upset daily on what a administration is passing through back door deals. That is why I already voted and for Fallin.

[StillwaterTownie]

Fallin in her TV ad talks of reduced government spending and cutting taxes, but doesn't tell of what part of government to cut. Seems like major parts of Okahoma governemnt, such as schools and prisons have already been cut more than plenty enough.

[Franklin847]

Well it sure is nice to hear all these comment's, it's seems to me as if Fallin is going to lose, but we will see tomorrow who get's to hold the office, by the way I'm voting Jerri Askins she seems to have a better head on her shoulders when it comes to answering question's, remember when Frank Keating was Governor, Mary Fallin didn't fight aginst his spending, remember he broke the State, Henry put it back on track, he didn't do it by putting a dome on the Capitol either.
