The next step for Brad Henry?

Recently Governor Brad Henry has said in interviews how he would not like to run for the United States Senate in 2008. He even has gone so far as saying he doesn't see himself in Washington, D.C. in the future. That takes him out of the House of Representatives (Which would of been a step down anyways), the Senate (Probably had a good chance at beating Coburn), and the Vice-Presidency (Perfect folksy balance for aloof Obama and Clinton).

So whats next after winning the Governors race by one of the largest margins ever?

1) Oklahoma's first First Gentleman; Kim Henry is a great speaker, and rather smart. However this seems odd, and I am not sure how well this idea would be received. Odds 1: 10,000.

2) Federal Judge, could take his cousin, Robert Henry's spot on the Tenth Circuit. Odds 1: 250.

3) How much longer will David Boren remain as president of the University of Oklahoma. Being President of OU just makes sense as something after being Governor. He has proven he can raise lots of money. He also put education as his focus of his public service. Since Boren won't hang around much longer than 2010, this move makes sense, plus it is prestigious. Odds 1: 25.

4)Goes back to Shawnee and takes up law practice. Seems likely. Odds 1: 24.

I'd love to see Henry as a VP nominee.
