A Small Silver Lining in the Cloud

Tuesday's election was a disaster for the USA. There's no other way to put it. But one of the few encouraging spots was here in Oklahoma. McCain won 65.6% of the vote. Greater than any other state including such ultra-red states as Utah and Wyoming.

McCain also won in every county in Oklahoma. He even carried the counties of southeast Oklahoma that are heavily populated by Indians.

Republicans in Oklahoma also gained four seats in the state house, and two seats in the state senate. The gains in the senate now give them a majority in both houses.
