Title: Will McCain win Oklahoma?
Post by: RecycleMichael on June 13, 2008, 03:27:44 PM
You would think the answer would be, of course.

This state is considered very red and Obama was crushed by Hillary when we voted on Super Tuesday. Bush won in 2004 with 66% and in 2000 with 60% of the vote. Bob Dole won Oklahoma by eight points and Daddy Bush won by nine points in 1992 (there were also strong third party candidates those years).

But new polling came out today that shows McCain at only 52%. He has lost 5 points in three months and Obama has gained the same back.

November is a long time away...could Oklahoma be in play?

That's the attitude. Does the D in your name stand for democrat or defeatist?

Devil. As an original Obama supporter, I mentioned to him he should not spend too much time here.

This election will be won on the intelligence of a nation.

So did you do this over coffee?  I was a original Obama supporter and all I got was a t-shirt.

It could be a possibly exciting election year.  Obama could get more votes than the Republican machine thinks he should and Andrew Rice WILL be a more formative opportunity than the Inhofe machine thinks could possibly exist.
