For the first time in Oklahoma's 101 year history, the Republican Party has seized control of the Oklahoma State Senate.  No word on the State House of Representatives, yet.  For the past two years, the Republicans and Democrats were evenly split in the Senate at 24-a-piece, with the Republicans having the Pro Tempore and the Majority Leader.  Now, it solely belongs to the Republicans.

This is much like Democrats taking over the New York state Senate, they were both eventually going to happen.

And to think, Oklahoma used to be one of the strongest states in the country for the Socialist Party. Now look at it.

The strange thing is that the Republicans in Oklahoma have actually exploited some (not all, of course!) of the same sentiments in the Oklahoma electorate that the Socialists did in the early '20th century (ah, what might have been if SPA organisation in Oklahoma hadn't been destroyed from above during the First World War...).

The Socialists never really had a chance, now did they? Too much opposition from the State.

Joke state. I am surprised that Oklahoma managed to vote even more Republican than last time though.
