Is Mr. Ed a darkhorse candidate in the race for The Presidency of The US?
(or does he have to spend a lot of years proving he's a mudder on the local track?)

I, personally, would vote to elect Dr. Shadid as the next president of the united states.
If there was a spot on the ballot to write him in.

“Oklahoma is rapidly becoming the leader in epidemics such as obesity, drug and alcohol dependency and tobacco use,” Councilman Shadid said. “Maintaining the status quo will result in tremendous personal, social and economic pain and is unsustainable. It’s time to fight back.”

I was there last night representing NorthCare at the health fair. It was a great turnout and very informative. It's depressing to hear how poor Oklahoma's health outcomes are and how lobbyists intend to keep it that way.

I guess I would be very curious to know the lobbyists that want to keep Oklahoma's drug, alcohol, and tobacco use high? Don't quite understand that one.
