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!

Oklahoma is a pretty bad state to live in, politics aside.

With the illegals taking over the great state of Texas, this native son may be crossing that Red River soon. I always liked Oklahoma anyway. I bet Ardmore would be nice. I love the Turner Falls area, but Davis is a little small.

Congratulations to Oklahomans for not having traitors in your state that sat home! It’s a shame that the other red states didn’t vote as you guys did. Thank you!

Even in true blue liberal Oregon, things are looking more red. In the State House and Senate, 7 out of 8 seats up for grabs went Republican. At the same time, moderate Republican Senator Smith lost because he campaigned primarily to the left.... Stand-up for “Conservatism,” you will win!

I am proud of the Oklahama's young adults. Unlike the national average of 34% 18-29 year olds voting BO, 60% of Oklahoma's voted right!(see http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/individual/#mapPOK)

If you look at a national map of voting by counties, OK is the eye of a hurricane of conservative counties.

Truly, Oklahoma is OK.

Much of this good news from OK may be attributed to the anti-immigration law there which discourages the dispossessed from coming into the state, right?

well done to OK
I still say my state Florida went red
I do not believe for one minute that it turned blue, yes it voted for obama but the amount of cases of fraud, multiple voters, illegals .
over a 100,000 voters from GA actually voted in OH and FL , many snow birds form NY,NJ,MA,RI,CT,ME,VT, voted down here because they used their vacation address

all of our ballot questions went conservative, homo marriage, no tax increase, illegals not having property but Dem expect me that those same voters voted in a liberal

no way

You guys are welcome here, but tell everyone else in California or wherever there’s nothing here... Just dirt roads and some stinky old ol’ wells.

BTTT.

As a lifelong resident of the state I can very well attest to what everybody is saying about the elections.

This clearly is a state whose values are much different from those of S.F. and Mass.

And, I can tell you not a whole lot of us think very highly of the Times.
