Do the names David Hall and David Walters sound familiar? Keating was one of the top ten, if not one of the top five, governors this state has had. I would hate to see how Walters or Henry would have handled the bombing. The worst governor ever? Do the names David Hall and David Walters sound familiar?

My guess is, you're not saying he's great, but not certainly the worst. I coudl agree with that. However... Keating cost the state millions on "the dome", he contantly belittled and denigrated public teachers and did everything he could to sabotage their progress and good outcomes they would produce, used the state plane for everything including personal trips, used his position as governor to put friends of influential lobbiests and campaing contributors in positions of power that allowed them to reap millions in unearned gains at OK taxpayer's expense...a model republican as of late I would say, maybe even a trailblazer! Keating is an ass, not the best ever, and certainly doesn't deserve any recognition in a bid for president. “Anyone who makes the claim Keating was the worst gov Oklahoma ever had doesn’t know anything about Oklahoma politics.”

And if we have to go that route -- and I admire Keating -- I'd rather grab Marc Racicot. Top Insurance Lobbyist Seeks Presidency
Earned Millions as Trade Association Boss

It’s hard for former governors to give up the limelight, e.g. Tommy Thompson.

And if we have to go that route — and I admire Keating — I’d rather grab Marc Racicot.
