OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin apparently can't get enough of political
conventions, and is planning to head to North Carolina next week for the
Democratic National Convention in Charlotte.
Fallin spokesman Alex
Weintz said Friday the governor will be doing surrogate campaign work
for the campaign of GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
Weintz says Fallin won't
actually attend the convention, but will be doing interviews with
various media outlets to offer a counterpoint to the Democratic message.
Fallin spent the week in
Tampa, Fla., for the Republican National Convention and delivered a
speech to the convention Tuesday night. Fallin was returning to Oklahoma
Friday and planned to leave for North Carolina on Tuesday.
Weintz says the Romney campaign will cover the governor's travel and expenses.
