I'm not sure if anyone else cares about Oklahoma, but a quick note: It doesn't look like it's been called, but former Oklahoma City mayor Mick Cornett is ahead with 93 percent reporting. If this becomes official, he'll have beaten a businessman with no political experience and the sitting lieutenant governor, Todd Lamb, who was trying to distance himself from the unpopular incumbent, Mary Fallin.

What interests me is that this conservative state might inform the eventual direction of the Republican Party. Cornett came off as the most pro-governance of the serious contenders, offering some tentative support for a bill that raised teacher pay this spring. His record as mayor of Oklahoma City is well-regarded. He's very conservative but with a streak of pragmatism as far as governing goes.
