What the hell is up with Oklahoma?
Thomas Frank should write this as the sequel to What's the Matter With Kansas?
There's a reason federal Democrats don't come to Oklahoma very often. They'd probably get horse-whipped out in these parts. We do have a sizeable number of Democrats, but they are slowly, but surely winnowing away. That's seen in the Republican takeover of the State Constitutional Office in 2010. Up to that point, most of the State has been Democratic at the State and Local level, but the Republicans have been making inroads since roughly 2002/2004 era and finally took the State offices over unanimously in the 2010 mid-terms.
