As far at it is possible to tell from precinct data (precinct borders only accidentally correspond with city limits), he has won Anadarko (Caddo Co., pop. 6762). When adding up all five precincts that include parts of the city, they went 52:48 Obama.

He came within a hair of winning Norman (Cleveland Co., pop. 111,000), which he only lost 48:52.

A few more results (I am working through the counties from  A to Z):

- Lawton went 47:53 for Romney (Obama got killed in the precincts next to Fort Stills);
- Muskogee is too close to call. When I sum up all precincts with a reasonable part of the city within them, Romney leads 50.3: 49.7 (62 votes), so the city proper may really have gone either way.

Smaller places won by Obama:
- Langston, Logan Co. (black college, 97% Obama)
- Taft, Boynton (both Muskogee Co., both majority black)
- Red Rock, Noble Co. (74% Native American)
- Boley, Okfuskee Co. (55% Black)
- Grant CDP, Choctaw Co. - the precinct was won by Romney with one vote, so Grant itself (has a casino, so probably a Native American place) may have gone to Obama.

He might have won Okmulgee (pop. approx 13,000) but the precinct shapes makes it very hard to tell.

As far as I can tell, it went 51-49 Obama-McCain, Romney performed almost exactly the same here a McCain did, and given that urban areas trended D and rural areas trended R, I give it a 70% chance that Obama won it, however my confidence level is a toss-up.

According to my count, it went  53-47 Obama, if you exclude those two precincts (#10 & '#36) that only marginally extend onto city territory and don't cover any of its urban part. If you include those two precincts, Romney won narrowly.

A few more smaller places won by Obama:

- Hoffman & Grayson (Okmulgee), both located within the same precinct that went 57.5 Obama. Grayson is 62% AA.

- Dewar (Okmulgee) - precinct (town plus a lot of countryside) narrowly won by Romney (8 votes), the town proper may have gone to Obama

- Spencer (City in Oklahoma county, 52% black) 76-34 Obama

- Forest Park (town in Oklahoma county, 72% black) 79-21 Obama

- Turley (CDP in Tulsa county) 80-20 Obama. Obama also won the part of Tulsa city that lies within Osage county 85-15, as well as most of North-Western Tulsa, but performed very poorly in the City's south, so he overall lost the City 43.5 - 56.5.

I finally can confirm that OKC has gone to Romney. He won the Oklahoma County portion 53-47, and Obama did not win a single OKC precinct outside of Oklahoma county (did not bother to sum them all up for a full OKC result).

Overall observation: Obama did reasonably well in a number smaller county capitals (Tahlequah 46%, Stillwater 43%, Idabel 41%, Hugo 40%), but was killed in the suburbs (e.g Edmond 27%, Broken Arrow 26%, Bixby 20%). The countryside varies widely and includes a few rural (majority native American?) precincts won by Obama, but in general he also did quite poorly there.
