Bob McCarty Writes

As a native Oklahoma now living in the Show-Me State, I often find myself visiting NewsOk.com, the web site of the state’s largest daily newspaper, for a more balanced view than one can find in the left-leaning St. Louis Post-Dispatch.  The summary below, which I wish applied to results in other states, describes what is clearly visible in the Oklahoma State Election Board map above:

By all measures, Sen. John McCain won handily in Oklahoma, taking every county and giving the Republican candidate his largest percentage total among U.S. states. In Oklahoma, McCain won 2,005 precincts. President-elect Barack Obama won 198 precincts statewide. The candidates tied in five precincts.

If you’re curious as to why Oklahoma, a state with a high percentage of registered Democrats who, voted for McCain, read my Nov. 11 post, Did Loose Election Process Produce Obama Win?
