Not too bad for a nice quaint little place. It is just too bad it isn’t very big and have enough electoral votes, like Texas.

Y’all used to have a great football team in Norman too. What happened there?

I’m not a fan, so I couldn’t tell you one way or another.

But I’ll mention something about the Electoral College. The nice thing about what the founding fathers did was to weight the system to favor the small states, in order to offset the big states. That’s why Presidential candidates find themselves campaigning in the small states, because they are needed, and this is especially so with the GOP.

If it weren’t for the Electoral College, those candidates would only campaign in large states and large metro areas and leave everyone else out of the picture. I have to thank the founding fathers for making Oklahoma a significant factor in these elections!
