"Even among Democrats, Obama was the choice of just under 50 percent, with Romney getting 40 percent."

Undecideds have to break 8-3 for Romney though ...

Undecideds have to break 8-3 for Romney though ...

Even if they broke 8-3 for president Obama (which is more likely in that range of disfavor... if I saw Romney down by a similar level in Vermont I would suggest that the undecided would break toward Romney) President Obama would 'only' win Vermont state 65-35.

If anything, except in a general collapse of a campaign, the undecided drift ineffectively toward the eventual loser in that statewide or district.

The more Obama loses jokestate by the happier I'll be.  (I'm exaggerating)

The part about Democrats seems doubtful--OK has blacks, and Obama did much better with them in 2008. The final margin will likely be anywhere from 62% Romney (a significant improvement from 2008) to 67% Romney (good year)

Oklahoma is not a joke. It has the sort of politics that the GOP aspires to have nationwide.

GOP wants US to be a third world country?

Only 7% black.

There are more Native Americans than blacks.

There are more Native Americans than blacks.

A group which is just as Democratic as blacks.

They're not quite as Democratic as blacks, and also, Native Americans in Oklahoma are probably both less Democratic and less Native American than in most other states.

Are you implying Oklahoma is a third-world country?  Have you been here?  It is the farthest thing from a third-world.

As far as the poll, I find it to be a bit skewed in favor of Romney.  Romney will probably get over 60, but I don't think he'll get any where close to 70.

In Oklahoma they are heavily assimilated, much in contrast to the reality in Arizona, Montana,  or South Dakota.

In my opinion, delegate sitting can help Obama to keep a good level of support in Oklahoma. DNC should sit Rogers delegates at least, that he's a credible Democrat. Showing a minimum of respect for voters will help Obama.

Not in Oklahoma.

For some reason I doubt Romney is going to get that high even in OK.
