Well as predicted the state of Oklahoma was not much of a contest Tuesday night. Senator John McCain took the state 66% to Obama's 34% when all of the ballots had been accounted for.
According to NewsOK McCain won Oklahoma by the biggest margin of any other state he took, winning every county just as Bush did in 2004. Exit polls showed that McCain got the majority of the vote from every age and income group as well as 71% of the male vote in the state. Also according to polls McCain got 95% of the vote from Republicans while Obama got 67% of the vote from those calling themselves Democrats.
According to political scientists at the University of Oklahoma the results matched most of the pre-election predictions. And while Oklahomans must have been disappointed with the overall election results, at least they know there was nothing else they could have done, they were after all the only state in which Senator Obama did not win a single county.

1-day to go!!!!
With one day to go in the big election, there is still nothing to talk about politically in Oklahoma.
Although the state has a Democratic governor, the state is red to the core and their seven electoral votes will undoubtedly go with the Senator from Arizona. The values-voters in the Bible belt are once again going to go with the Republican. Shocking.
