Remember when Clinton was going to make this "close."

LOLOLOL

Remember when some people argued he might get to 38-40% here because of U of Oklahoma and Oklahoma St?
No.

It's entirely possible that he could actually. That's not the surprising part here. The surprising part is that McCain is only at 52%. I expect by election day that he'll be over 60% but Obama getting 38% is hardly unreasonable.

Need more polls to get a trend. Remember that in 2004 there were also 2 polls that showed Kerry trailing by just 12%. Anyway, I could see Obama getting 35-38% in OK.

There is no chance that Barack Obama will get more than 38% of the vote in Oklahoma this Election. If Obama does manage to get more than 38%, there is something wrong with the Oklahoma electorate. It goes against the electoral grain of wood in Oklahoma, if a liberal African-American Senator running for President of the United States manages to get more than 38%.

Or its just a great year for the Democrats as I think it will be.



Well, 35-38% .. it seemed to me like people thought he could do well in Oklahoma for a Democrat in this thread. I guess your memory is just pretty bad.
Well, even so, 35-38% isn't so far off from the 32% he's currently polling. I don't think he has a shot at doing any better than Kerry (especially not with the Palin pick), though.

It's kind of sad. Oklahoma used to have one of the strongest Socialist parties in the country, and now look at it. Ugh.
