Looks more like the vast majority of Oklahoma Democrats said, "What Primary?"

Nuff said.

So President Obama got spurned by 45,000 people out of 104,700 voters? And this isn't newsworthy?

This race has the potential to look a whole lot different by November, I'm just sayin'.

Keep in mind you have a ton of dixiecrats in Oklahoma. McCain received 33% of the Democratic vote in 2008 in Oklahoma, including 41% of White Democrats.

I'm actually surprised that he got that much in ground zero Redneck USA

He's only in the eight position as an unelectable president following his mentor, jimmy carter

Is this thread a joke? It's freaking Oklahoma which Obama didn't even carry in 2008 and is a very Conservative state to begin with. It's the Bible Belt so I would imagine a Democrat there is not the same as Democrat in say New York City. There is no news here.

Our current President of the United States, President Barack Obama carried zero counties in Oklahoma in 2008.

Zero.

Nada.

None.

That's no counties he won in 2008.

Zip.

Squat.

Zilch.

Yep, that really hurt him that year! No way he can get re-elected without Oklahoma.

Game over.

President Romney, I don't agree with you, at least until you change your mind to where I could kind of agree with you, but, that's not my point. Without Oklahoma, Obama will surely have to turn over power to you, and we will finally be ridden of the Socialism.
