Herman Cain is coming to Oklahoma City

9:00 AM EST on November 17, 2011

This may be a "watch what you wish for" statement, but I sometimes wish our state got a little more attention during the presidential primary season. It would be cool to see the candidates in person and hear their cliché stump speeches on important issues like the economy and foreign policy. It would also be fun to watch them stop by the Chuck House to meet with the regular folk or flirt with Mary Fallin.

Unfortunately, though, that will never happen. Oklahoma is a small state and our primary is part of the crowded Super Tuesday field. That means few serious candidates stop by to see us, and when they do it's usually just for a quick fundraiser, or in Herman Cain's place, to flirt with Mary Fallin.
