Oklahoma’s presidential primary filing ended on December 5. Candidates were required to pay $2,500. Eleven Republicans and seven Democrats filed. The most notable candidate who didn’t file was Joe Biden.
Republicans who filed are Jerry Curry of Haymarket, Virginia; Daniel Gilbert of North Carolina; and the candidates who have been generally getting on presidential primary ballots: Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, Alan Keyes, John McCain, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Tom Tancredo, and Fred Thompson.
Democrats who filed are Jim Rogers of Midwest City, Oklahoma; and these candidates who have generally been getting on primary ballots: Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, Barack Obama, and Bill Richardson.
No Mike Gravel?
Biden is putting his limited resources where they will do the most good, in Iowa and New Hampshire and South Carolina. Meanwhile, unlike his colleagues, he continues to do his job in the Senate.
Disappointed about Gravel not making it.
