I believe that Jeff Cloud will win re-election, despite how tight the polls have him right now. Charles Gray is unknown; at least Cloud has run before for this seat (being the incumbent). The big race is the Murphy versus Roth one (duh!).
Dana Murphy is, and has been all along, the most qualified and experienced candidate for the Corporation Commission. I will be voting for her, and encouraging everyone I know to vote for her too. I have also given some small donations to her campaign (and encourage you to as well; her opponent has a huge cash advantage).
Jim Roth is, as you should know, a homosexual. In fact, if he is wins, he will be the first state-wide homosexual candidate to be elected in the entire nation. Not even in states like California, New York, or Massachusetts has this happened (homosexuals have been elected to state and federal legislative seats). Unfortunately, this is not an issue that Dana can bring out; we have to pick it up.
That is not Roth's only negative. As I said in a recent post on my blog, Jim Roth has basically been bought and paid for by Aubrey McClendon and Chesapeake Energy. Their relationship dates back to at least 2005.
Jim Roth will be Aubrey McClendon/Chesapeake's watchdog; Dana Murphy will be OUR watchdog! It is vital that she be elected!
