Oh please Hillary, do campaign for a 55 mph speed limit!

The old 55 mph speed limit was very unpopular in red states. I'd like to see a comparison of the order in which states repealed their 55 mph limits and what proportion of the popular vote those states gave to Republican presidential candidates from 1988 to 2004.

Oklahoma:

Adopted the 65 mph speed limit on April 6, 1987
Went to 75mph on the turnpike, 70 mph for cars on rural interstates and other divide highways and 65 day/55 nigh on others on December 15, 1995.

BTW, every county in Oklahoma went for Pres Bush in 2004 and have voted Republican for President since LBJ barely won OK. Ms. Clinton doesn't stand a chance of winning OKLAHOMA!

You could not be more RIGHT! All of us need to be encouraging hiltery to go "full throttle" with this 55 mph speed limit idea!

Everyone needs to send an e-mail, a letter or call her and plead with her ... please ... please ... ms hiltery tell us more about how we need 55 as a speed limit. Tell us every chance you get! Tell us every day, in some way, how good for us this would be!

She needs all the support we can muster to keep her "peddle to the metal" and convinced this is the best idea to come down the turnpike!

PLEASE ... PLEASE JUST DO IT!
