Oklahoma... it bucked the Obama tide. It only turned Redder Tuesday. John McCain carried all of the state's 77 counties. The GOP took control of the Legislature for the first time in a century. Liberals? Nope - Okies don't like 'em!

I need to move there. Arizona is being overtaken by people from California and Wisconsin. And of course, there is Juan McCan’t himself...

Oklahoma has been one of the only SOLID REPUBLICAN states for voting Presidential elections the last three elections, with many conservative (REAGAN) Democrats voting for GOP over their own party. In case anyone didn’t get a hint....LIEberals and elite GOP RINOs are not welcome!

I knew I loved that song “I’m Proud to be an Okie from Muskokee” for a reason! :O)

We also took back a Corporation Commission seat from the Dems the “popular” governor of OK appointed. The only reason he won reelection is the Republicans here shot themselves in the foot nominating Ernest Istook. He was elected to Congress with big numbers but most people didn’t know he was Mormon. As soon as it came out, he was beat in the general election almost 2-1.

We picked up Senate and House seats in the OK Legislature this time. A Dem Senate member who switched from GOP to Dem because in 2006 she didn’t like how she was treated in her run for Governor was defeated.

We have counties with very few Republicans that went for McCain because Obama was too liberal for most Dems. Still don’t understand the Dems nominating the liberal Rice with Soros consultants to oppose Sen Inhofe. It failed.

Our houses are affordable, have less then 4% unemployment, and we are solid conservatives! I get the feeling the NY Times thinks we are racist. I prefer to see it as the residents of the Sooner state can recognize a socialist like Obama and won’t vote for him.

We had something like that in TN also...I’m glad our retirees aren’t all dems.

That’s my hometown. My dad drinks coffee in that cafe with some of those men. He was Republican when Republican wasn’t cool. He’s still to the right of Goldwater and Reagan. :-)

Oklahoma also has two of the best senators in the country: Jim Inhofe and Tom Coburn.

I’m stuck here in moonbat controlled Oregon. We’re thinking of moving and I’ve got my eye on OK. SW Missouri is also on my short list. My husband and I are looking to start up a small business soon (can’t be too successful though) and need to find a good, conservative place with low taxes.

Oklahomans are also protecting their state by passing one of the toughest anti-illegal immigrant bills in the past year or two. What I would give to live amongst like-minded people right now!! I’m working/living in San Francisco right now...imagine the horror.

There were quite a few states out of the 20+ we took where the result was 2 to 1 or more Republican.

All is not lost, I hope.

God Help OK if BHO ever says the Word “DRILL”...then he may get another .002% of the vote of people who don’t think he’s lying about Drilling.

If Alaska was a Foreign Country, like Canada, or Mexico, they would be as RICH as Oklahoma, drilling for $money$.

Pelosi is saving the Planet, and Texas and Oklahoma do NOT LIKE IT.

As a conservative living in California (and in the SF Bay Area, on top of that), this gives me hope. Which has been in short supply this week.
