"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

Jari Askins, Dem for OK Governor Ad -- Down 30 Points to Mary Fallin and Reaching with this One!

Almost fell off my chair laughing at this new ad of Askins who is running for Oklahoma Governor -- this may be more comical than the one where she tried to tell us she was a Conservative when she is an Obama supporter.   With the latest ad, logic tells you that if Mary Fallin had not left the Lt Governor's office to run for Congress to get experience at the national level in 2006, that Jari Askins would not be Lt Governor and not running for Governor. 

Mary was a very popular Lt Governor and would have been reelected in 2006 for another term if she had chosen to run again for Lt Governor.  Her decision to run for Congress has given her the national experience that comes with being a Congresswoman and has put her in a great position to use that knowledge as Governor.

Askins is right about not leaving Oklahoma. Did anyone hear of her making trips to other places to tout Oklahoma as a great place to do business like Mary did as Lt Governor? If she did, it sure wasn't talked about. It seems like all she did was take what Mary did as Lt Governor like the Turkey Hunt and the Aerospace Conference and adopt it as hers. Have heard more out of Askins since she decided to run for Governor then the past three years.

Guess being down 30 points to Mary with a month left until the election, makes you run dumb ads because this is another one of those.  At least it gave a laugh for the day!
