TULSA, Okla. (AP) - A new poll found little support among Oklahoma voters for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

The Oklahoma Poll found that Republican John McCain has broad support in the state to lead Obama by 32%age points, 56% to 24%.

From where I sit, it looks like Okies are infinitely smarter than Californians, New Yorkers or Illinoisans (Chicagoans in actuality). Just saying.

LOL, I was just telling my brother the same thing. Now Obama is stuck with these two money-sucking offices in a state where he trails by sub-Kerry proportions.

[Osage Orange]

The dirty little secret here...and across the nation is there are millions of rank-and-file real racist Democrats that will NOT vote for a black person.

Plain and simple.

Of course the marxistliberalsocialist DNC and MSM / DBM will neveer admit that.

[Osage Orange]

If only the Republicans had a real candidate, he might actually be wearing a coat with tails. Then you would see true panic among Democrats.

Totally agree..........

[Osage Orange]

Can't wait for Ozbama to come to T-Town...and rent out the Mabey Center...and declare, "I am the way and the truth and the life."

The McCain List.

John McCain holds a commanding lead in a state where Obama has opened not one but two campaign offices. The word "hubris" comes to mind!

Do you think the OK folks have had their fill of bldgs being bombed sine Obama has friends who have set off more than a few

I knew McCain was up big here but didn’t know it was this much.

Michael Steele is going to be speaking to an OK Victory 2008 fundraiser on 19 August and tickets are going rapidly. I ordered mine this morning.

With numbers like this, the event is going to be fun!

ROFLOL!!! I might make a trip up the Turnpike to see that one!

[Oklahoma]

With apologies to Californians...........”during the Depression when Okies went to California the IQ in both states went up.”

I think the Pubbies have their own issue, separate from Obama vs. McCain...

The “No-Drill” Congress and $4 a gallon gas.

You can bet overnite polling is why the Pubbies are back in the House on Monday!

Boomer Sooner says NO OBAMA.

Problem is, I never met a Clinton voter (twice). We must be on our toes folks!

Picked up this comment about the OK Poll on Obama:

“Oklahomans don’t like big winds that come in and cause a lot of damage. Fortunately they recognize Obama as one.”

I think you've hit on something there. Everybody expected Nixon to get trounced, yet he won. Republicans weren't that enthusiastic about him, and he was a piss-poor conservative (wage and price controls, closing the gold window, EPA, OSHA, etc), but there was a silent majority that like him better than McGovern, even though McGovern excited the youth just like Obamessiah. I think a similar situation may be brewing

The first time I ever campaigned for a President, I did so for Nixon. Then 4 years later I cast my first vote in a race for President for Nixon.

I was young and foolish in those days. I actually believed Nixon when he campaigned as a conservative.

As I think back on those days, I wasn't totally wrong. In 1972 the Democrats threw McGovern at the nation. That was the first time I can recall that even a liberal Democrat campaigned on the premiss that the United States was the focus of evil in the world. They really have never stopped with that drum beat.

Still, as I think back on 1968, Humphrey actually campaigned as a liberal. In the end he was, in real life, far more conservative that Nixon could hope to be on his most conservative day of his life. It's almost impossible to believe the Republican Party of those days could put forth such a statist as Nixon was. Yet he was also as arrogant as any statist has ever been, and that his downfall, his own arrogance.

It's good humor to watch the arrogant fall. We got to watch it this year seeing Hillary twist in the breeze. Still, the major downside to the pure pleasure of watching Nixon fall was that Nixon acted as the campaign manager who gave us one James Earl Carter.

I live in The Peoples Republic of Illinois. To think there is a conservative Republican state just about 400 miles away, makes me want to move there.

Okies don’t care for bullsh-ters or Texans (making an exception in Bush’s case re the latter). Obama will lose big in OK.

Be careful what you say. Humpherey was an out and out socialist on domestic affairs, although he was very pro-2nd amendment. My grandfather was a huge fan of Hubert largely due to his “worker friendly” economic policies.
