1. Yay!!!!

[Dont call me Shirley]

2. Whoot!

[Warpy]

3. Wow.

I know it's futile to hope for a miracle, but maybe younger Okies are finally waking up and reclaiming the populist roots that state once had.

[villager]

8. When you think that a Senator like *Fred Harris* used to come from there...

He was a guy I supported in the primaries (before I could vote!)...who also had little change against the Demo establishment of the time...

[mike dub]

4. Love this Go Bernie!!!!

Glad bill clinton$ Couldn't be in two regions of the country at once today-- he only interrupted the democratic process in MA.
Good on OK.

5. Oklahoma? That's YOOGE!

[Chicago1980]

6. As someone who leans Clinton, I'll happily say congratulations.

Keep fighting, keep debating, make the issues known.

As I've said before, our side, no matter whether you support Clinton or Sanders have to be the adults in the room.

Blessings all.

7. Best News!

May it be so.

9. Okee dokee! And woo hoo!

[FreedomRain]

10. here's a link to KFOR (NBC news)

very curiously named link, considering the content

Clinton received 77,346 votes, which is currently putting her at 40.41% of the vote.

Sanders received 99,484 votes, which is currently 51.98% of the vote.

12. Thank you

[Herman4747]

11. Astonishing, utterly astonishing!

Seems like he won by a notable amount too!


Can someone from Oklahoma explain this?

[FreedomRain]

14. someone on DU from OK predicted this

I am just going to go ahead and predict Sanders by 20 here in AZ

[Behind the Aegis]

39. I said it would go to Sanders and Cruz.

I know I wasn't the only Okie who said Sanders, but going on what I saw, it seemed to favor him. I was surprised by the margin though. I was equally surprised Rubio did as well as he did, coming in on the heels of Trump. That was a bit surprising.

[madokie]

15. We like his message

When he talks to us he actually talked to us, We all like that in a candidate.

[Herman4747]

18. Did you think ahead of time that he had a good chance?

I am still stunned he won OK given the US senators it has

[JimDandy]

33. I used to live there. I'm not stunned, but I thought it would be closer than it is.

I phoned banked this state for Bernie.

[madokie]

41. Before two weeks ago no

I never figured that at all.

ETA: In my little world here in north east Oklahoma I thought that he had a chance from the people I talked to but oklahoma has a lot of people in need of anger management and it was those folks who had me thinking that we probably couldn't pull it off. We have a lot of racist, misogynous homophobic and xenophobic people here in Ok. Luckily for me most of those people live out west. Around here in the eastern part of the state we're made up of whites, blacks and native americans who have come to grips with who we are and accept that we're brothers and sisters no matter what.

13. Damn it

Now I can't get the song Oklahoma out of my head.

[Behind the Aegis]

40. Try living here!

Just about anytime I go somewhere and someone says, "Where ya from?" and I say "Oklahoma." I get the song!

[a la izquierda]

42. I remember when I was preparing to move there.

And I would call OU for one thing or another and get put on hold...

[iandhr]

43. I bet.

[George II]

16. Delegates will be split about 20-18.

Pollsters are paid to lie now. Ugh...
