U.S. Rep. Mary Fallin & Lt. Gov. Jari AskinsOklahoma U.S. Rep. Mary Fallin says she will spend the next several weeks focusing on the national economy and will announce her future political plans in the spring.
Fallin is considered a possible Republican candidate for governor in 2010 or could run for a third term in Congress.
Incumbent Gov. Brad 'I'm Late' Henry (D) is not eligible to run for re-election because of term limits.
Fallin says a run for governor is tempting with Republicans now controlling both state House and Senate.
Fellow Republican U.S. Senator Tom Coburn, U.S. Rep. Tom Cole (OK-4), State Senator Randy Brogdon (Dist. 34) and State Rep. Randy Terrill (Dist. 53) has also been mentioned as a potential candidate for governor.Democratic Lt. Gov. Jari Askins and Attorney General Drew Edmondson also have said they're considering running for governor.

If Coburn runs for anything, it will be his Senate seat. If he runs... and that could be a big 'if'.
