From the Tulsa World: Ernest Istook and his campaign staff positioned themselves in front of an armory in Atoka on a recent Friday morning to talk about jobs. Flanked by his wife, Judy, the Republican reiterated the need for job growth and retention. He blamed the current governor, Democrat Brad Henry, for a loss in jobs and failure to attract high-paying positions. Working the campaign trail with about two months to go until the Nov. 7 general election, Istook said the oil and gas industry may be keeping the state economy afloat, but everything is not rosy -- personal income is down, poverty is up and foreclosures are on the rise.
