America leaps into the fire, Oklahoma tries to escape the kitchen. Congrats OK freepers. First time EVER the Senate and thus the entire legislature is GOP. The house has been since 04 or 06 (and was before that was last GOP in 1920).

I wish I could move there. We are moving to Viginia in January. On the other hand we will be new voters in VA for the GOP...but I still want to move to OK or Alaska.

Proud to be from Oklahoma. We also kept one Corporation Commission seat and took back another one from a Henry appointee.

We have set the stage to take back the Governor’s Mansion in 2010!

OK is trending GOP. The majority of voters are registered Democrats but are actually conservative.

Only Democrat from OK is David Boren. When he retires, he'll be replaced by a Republican. Brad Henry, the Governor, is a conservative Democrat.

I hate seeing conservative states called “red” - another sly little annoyance foisted on us by the MSM.

But I am heartened that there remain such “red” states as Oklahoma, which also just re-elected Senator Inhofe. I live in that kind of state too, one that went solidly for McCain-Palin and in which I am comfortable with, indeed proud of, my neighbors.

We’re still a center-right country. Wait until The Messiah’s charm wears off.

although Republican Jim Reynolds was trailing in his race against Democrat David Boren - who is not related to the University of Oklahoma president.

learn something new every day. I thought his name was Dan Boren and that he was David Boren's son. Or are they talking about someone else completely?

A bright spot in an otherwise glum result yesterday.

And I’m glad I’m an Okie....

If Wisconsin passes universal health care, then OK is one of the states I’m seriously looking into (Sioux Falls, SD being the other). I have a degree in both health information and in transportation logistics, so I could move anywhere and find work. OK sounds very good right about now.
