I recall reading that McCain defeated Obama in OKC and Tulsa by 15 and 11 points, respectively.  That's very unusual for cities of that size, and it shows how staunchly conservative Oklahoma is.

The only mid-sized city where it seems possible that Obama won in 2008 might be the college town of Norman.  McCain carried Cleveland County by 24 points, but
 Norman makes up under half the county's population.

Does anyone have an idea if Norman was one place in Oklahoma where Obama won?

I see, thank you.

Oklahoma is quite conservative, and that is a major understatement.

I see, Obama still carried the campus area, but the surroundings are much more conservative.  Is that the main reason, or is the University of Oklahoma any more conservative than, say, the University of Kansas in Lawrence (which is pretty liberal city)?
