President Barack Obama Won the Oklahoma Democratic Primary But The One Lost Lost in 15 Counties to Randall Terry
OBAMA NOT OK, IN OK … I guess we will not be seeing President Barack Obama any time soon campaigning in Oklahoma in the 2012 Presidential election.
Barack Obama won the Oklahoma Democrat primary with 57% of the vote, but that is not the big story. Obama actually lost 15 counties to anti-abortion activist and Operation Rescue founder Randall Terry who received 18,400 votes and 18 percent of the vote. Obama has faced no opposition during the Democrat primary, until OK. The poor showing in Oklahoma will actually cost Obama one delegate as a virtual unknown garnered double digit support in the primary.
According to Democratic Party 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.
Imagine what Obama’s opposition vote against him would have been like if an actual viable candidate ran against him in the Democrat primary?

The big story may be that 15 counties selected Randall Terry to be the Democratic nominee for president but it’s not a big story involving Obama. It’s a big story because 15 counties in Oklahoma somehow believe that Randall Terry should be president. And it’s a big story because either the meth labs now outnumber libraries in those counties, or because there has obviously been a massive toxic spill somewhere in Oklahoma.

SM: Nope … imagine what the vote against Obama would be if say Hillary Clinton ran in the Dem primary or another Dem Gov? Sorry, there are many that are not enamored with Obama. There is no way he will be able to get the crowds and excitement as he did in 2008. The cat is out of the bag, Obama’s record is a fiasco.
