Oh, Denise, ooby-doo

The Tailgate Politics take on Denise Bode's replacement on the Corp Comm declares Pete Regan the favorite, and I think he'd fill the slot nicely; he's always struck me as a genuinely positive sort of person, and he does his homework, an essential for a would-be regulator.

There's also a hint that Oklahoma County Commissioner Jim Roth might be under consideration:

I have my doubts. Roth is indeed all of those things, but I can't see him departing county government without some assurance that the place won't be turned over to the likes of Brent Rinehart, and Rinehart isn't about to leave on his own.

As for Ms Bode, I wish her well in the private sector. It will be strange, though, not seeing her name on any more ballots.
