Obama loses Democratic primary in 15 Oklahoma counties

OKLAHOMA CITY – President Obama collected the most votes in the Oklahoma COLOR=blue][COLOR=blue !importantDemocratic 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 who received 18 percent of the vote.

According to Democratic Party[/URL] rules, Terry is eligible for a delegate since he won more than 15 percent of the statewide vote. Terry beat Obama in 12 counties, mostly in western Oklahoma.

Terry acknowledges he can't win the presidency but says he hopes to cause Obama's defeat in the fall.
Oklahoma earned the nickname "reddest of the red" states after Obama's failed to win a single county in the 2008 presidential race.

Anyone think this means anything? After briefly pondering the meaning of Obama barely winning a state that did not support him before, I fail to see how Terry can take one state that does not support the President and cause his eventual fall. Especially since the Republican Party, sadly, is far from united.

I think an unknown and subtle facet of this year's general election is the silent buyer's remorse some Democrats feel. The thrill of electing a black man is gone. Now, how many Democrats will choose to stay home, or vote third party, or perhaps even vote for the GOP, is a real question.

Mind you, not a question that the msm will ask.

that's wishful thinking on your part. perhaps, had the republicans had put up a good candidate, some may have crossed over, but it ain't gonna happen now.
romney always looks nervous and unsure of himself, and i expect that to shine through in the presidential debates. can't wait for romney to get hammered about health care, either.

Wait...how do you hammer Romney on healthcare without hammering Obama on healthcare?

Obama doesn't get 100% of the vote in the most conservative state in the country? Shocked

Holy ****... I am so glad I am not affiliated with the same party as you. That is truly a good feeling.

What? It wasn't a complex post. What possible angle must you have gleaned, I can't wait.

Obama is an unqualified mistake, and many Democrats know it. That was the point.

Not complicated, but not accurate, either. Obama has an 85% approval rating among Democrats.

We'll find out in November. Given the alternative, the thrill of having a Democrat in office hasn't worn off.

You think democrats, alot of republicans, and tons of independents voted for Obama because he is a black man? that is very funny. People voted for Obama because he is inspirational, favors the poor over the rich, thinks with diplomacy instead of missles, believes in an America where everyone has an equal shot. The idea that you believe Mitt Romney, the biggest flip-flopper of the century, has any chance to beat Obama only brings your arrogance into clarity. Top republican officials have made public statements about how big of a joke the current GOP field is, some have even hinted towards folding this election and concentrating on the house and senate. I can promise you this, not many democrats will be staying at home on election night, this election has evolved into an essential victory for the democrats to prevent national chaos and bible thumping suppression. I will not be surprised if Obama beats Mitt by a landslide. Romney has not been able to win a primary state without tripling his opponents investments in negative campaigning. Romney has been carrying 90% of the voters who make 200,000 a year or above. If Gingrich was to drop out of the race, Rick Santorum would be the inevitable GOP nominee. He would pick up newt's tea party supporters and beat Romney's wealth support by large numbers. The ONLY reason Mitt Romney is in position to win the GOP nomination is because the extreme conservative vote is split between Santorum and Gingrich. The media wants you to believe Romney is the best candidate to face Obama. In reality, he has more flaws then all of the candidates combined. It will be a asswooping of epic significance if Mitt Romney gets the nomination. 90% support among wealthy individuals can def. win you a primary. Considering wealthy individuals only make up 1/4 of the general election voting population, he is doomed to hit reality in november.


One more thing, Oklahoma is one of the reddest states in America, Obama losing a primary against no opponent only supports the idea that he has no interest in winning this state just as they no interest in voting for him. Oklahoma holds no significance to the Democratic party. It's electoral college value is weak just like its reporters.

Yep, he was only elected because he was black. I still am glad I am not affiliated with your party.

One more thing for all you Obama haters. You do realize Ohio is a must win for the inevitable GOP nominee correct? 550,000 democrats showed up on Super Tuesday to cast their primary vote for Obama, even though they didn't have to because no one is challenging him, so dont give me that b.s. about democratic participation being down this election. Only 456,000 voters casted their vote for Mitt Romney. Obama beat Romney by 100,000 votes without giving one campaign speech in Ohio. So much for the GOP election year motivation. This is enough proof in itself, not many republicans in ohio are too thrilled about any gop candidate. Just think about this for a minute. Can you imagine what's going to happen when Obama starts using his 1,000,000,0000 funds to campaign in Ohio? I sense a nightmare.

I expect Obama to invest heavily in Ohio for his knockout punch to the inevitable GOP nominee. His blue states are guaranteed, just like republicans red states are guaranteed to them. As long as he wins Ohio, its lights out.

The guy ran ads against Obama calling him a murderer, maniac, and an SOB, and he got 20% of the vote. Ouch.

He got enough, btw, to actually be awarded a delegate.

Nice fantasy. Worry not, the Dems will be out in full force for Obama. I doubt the same can be said for the Regressives, who are barely participating in their own "competitive" caucuses and primaries.

Those voting for Obama would only hammer him for being too much of a wimp to propose/stand-by single payer healthcare.

No this makes no matter, Obama isn't even trying to win OK now or the actual election. I am sure he would take a win from this state but isn't going to put much effort in it.

I have been voting since 1960 and I want to tell you its always like this with the party out of office for the presidency. Once the candidate is set it will be fine..........Can you remember Hussein Obama and Hillary in 2007.... I thought they were going to kill one another and as soon as it was over he offered her SEC of State.

Really? Because the lack of facts or backup to your claims made the remainder of your posts just seem like nothing but race-baiting.
