By golly, we don't want that now, do we? All the more reason to vote for Obama, so the late night comics don't tell crude jokes about McCain. You make your master (Obama) proud.

It's no surprise that Oklahoma would support the GOP candidate. I think 1964 was the last time OK voted for a Democrat.
The interesting thing is the polls say McCain is leading by double or tripple the lead over almost every other state that Mcain has a lead. Alaska and Arizona arent supporting the McCain Palin ticket like OK is. Texas McCain +12 Arizona +11 Arkansas +15 Louisiana +14 ALaska +17 |

McCain hasn't every been trailing in the states I listed. In case you hadn't noticed, this is the solidly "red" part of the country.
Nation wide, Quick slide toward palookaville. Down 1.5 points in the past 18 hours--that's a fast slide IMHO. The question is why does Oklahoma support him double the rate of the other GOP strongholds around us and well in excess of McCain/Palin's home state? |

Oklahoma is ultra conservative. Not everyone in the state is, but there is enough of a conservative base to move the polls considerably. The length of time it took to legalize tattoos and scratch off cards is an example of our deep religious and conservative voting history. Plenty of republican Oklahomans might not agree with all of McCain's ideas, but they know that they don't want someone like Obama in power. He is fairly forward thinking in a few ways. In some situations it's a 'Not Obama' vote. It didn't matter who was up against Obama for some of these people. He was at the disadvantage in this conservative state from the start.
