President Barack Obama collected the most votes in the Oklahoma Democratic primary, but lost in 15 counties.

With 98 percent of precincts reporting Tuesday, Obama won 57 percent of the vote. Four other candidates combined for 43 percent of the vote, including anti-abortion activist and Operation Rescue founder Randall Terry who received 18 percent of the vote.

According to Democratic Party rules, Terry is eligible for a delegate since he won more than 15 percent of the statewide vote.

See what can happen in places without Acorn and Diebalt, where they actually check voter eligibility!

Voter ID is fine but I don’t like electronic voting where there’s no printed receipt for the voter to confirm what was on the screen is what’s on a physical receipt.

We should have been messing in their primaries, heh.

Oklahoma is one of the reddest states in the country which is why Santorum won. There is no way Obama will win Oklahoma in November. If he does, we are in deeper trouble then we ever thought.

We are a closed primary state. That said he won a mere plurality in my urban precinct, getting just barely above 40% among the democrat voters who had 5 candidates to choose from and that’s not counting those who left that part of their ballots blank.

Oklahoma is the only state where Obama lost every county in 2008. They’re great people but don’t move here.

No chance.

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas rancher, whose hand was wounded while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his being our President. The old rancher said, ‘Well, ya know, Obama is a post turtle’. Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a ‘post turtle’ was. The old rancher said, ‘When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a ‘post turtle’. The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face, so he continued to explain. ‘You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong up there, he doesn’t know what to do up there, and you just wonder what kind of a dumb ass put him there.’
