How is it that Obama is so far ahead in Kansas and Hillary is so far ahead in Oklahoma?

[Quixote1818]

I realize Oklahoma borders Arkansas but I don't see why that would have too much impact.

I would think those two states would vote about the same. So, my guess is that one of those polls is wrong.

[Lautremont]

1. Because both those states are screwy.

[leftofthedial]

2. Because Kansas got first pick

[Jamastiene]

3. Cause Obama is the Wicked Witch of the North

and Hillary KNOWS she's not in Kansas any more.

























:P
:hide:

4. Do you have a Kansas Poll?

[scheming daemons]

5. Obama's mom is from Kansas... and Kansas Gov. endorsed him..

...

6. How does Indiana vote so Republican and Illinois so Democratic?

States very close to eachother can be very different.

11. Illinois has Chicago. The third largest city in the country

Big City's always vote Democrat. Kansas and Oklahoma are both red states.

7. And my BIL and all of his buddies are voting for Obama in the primary.

They are afraid of Hillary because they think if she wins she will seek revenge on Republicans. So, they are just doing it to fuck with our primary.

None of them would ever vote for a Dem in the general, however. They think they are quite clever.

10. Which is really astounding in its ignorance

because "it takes a Clinton to clean up after a Bush". She'd clean up after W just like Bill cleaned up BCCI, Iran-Contra, the looting of the S&Ls, Gulf I...

Hillary would be the best thing that could happen to Bush & Co.

8. I haven't seen the Kansas numbers, but Governor Sebelius endorsed him.

And there has been talk of her as VEEP.

[DURHAM D]

9. Kansas has been a red state for forever.

Oklahoma was a blue state for years - until Johnson signed that little piece of legislation in 1964 and Oklahoma went red. It is now turning back blue.

12. Aside from the already mentioned reasons, isn't OK considered to be more "southern" too?

Arkansas bordering Oklahoma does matter. Ask Wesley Clark.

[Quixote1818]

13. I would consider it southern. It borders Texas and Arkansas nt

14. Barack can winthe south in the GE he does overcome racism, it's as easy as that.

[aka-chmeee]

15. There are more repugs here in Kansas, nt
