Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, well, you’re an Oklahoma pollster!
Yesterday evening, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt cruised to an easy victory over Joy Hofmeister in the Oklahoma gubernatorial election, defeating the Republican-turned-Democratic by a decisive 55% to 42% margin, guaranteeing The Lost Ogle four more years of clickable content covering his scandals, gaffes, grifts, and out-of-state emergency ski trips.
As we know, some unreliable polls showed Ole Stitter with a slim lead or even trailing heading into election night, but yesterday's win never seemed in doubt. In fact, Kevin’s victory was actually larger than his stampede over Drew Edmondson in 2018!
Joy Hofmeister is likely going to finish worse than Drew Edmondson did in 2018! Let that sink in for a second. pic.twitter.com/bHGP1930ye

Yes, 2018 was a much different situation than 2022. Dems had that Blue Wave thing going, there was an unpopular Republican in the White House, and Stitt wasn’t an incumbent, but either way, his dominance over Hofmeister probably explains why he treated the victory like he just killed two black bears with one arrow...
