Interestingly, Obama's exit polling results are somewhere around 5 points better than Kerry's results. It'll be interesting to see if that number holds in the final tally.

Doesn't really surprise me that much.

That map is enlightening. Now I know why I don't like going outside of Tulsa much, except to head to another state.

[sgrizzle]

Looks like the whole state is red now.

McCain's 66% to 34% victory in Oklahoma, is the largest margin in the Nation.

Wyoming, Dick Cheney's homeland, a close second.

Even South Carolina, which still believes it is an independent country all by itself, 54% to 45%.

Oklahoma: We fear change.

It's even lower turnout, very odd given how big this election was.  Given the last 8 years, and all the policies, etc.  Much of the Nation saw record turnout, not us, not Oklahoma.

The Democratic Party did better in a few other counties than it did in Tulsa.  Oklahoma County was one of the better for the Democrats, McCain won 58% to 42%.  Okmulgee, Muskogee, and Cherokee counties, Democrats did better there, than in Tulsa County.  Cherokee went 56% to 44% McCain, that's Tahlequah.  Tulsa County went 62% to 38%, somewhat better than the entire state's 66% to 34%.
