Apparently, they're still running Donkey primaries, even if we don't hear about them.

Sure, a county won't win a national election, but the fact that President Obama came in THIRD in some OK counties last night should be cause for SOME worry for a guy trying to essentially BUY an election.

Totally irrelevant. Obama won't campaign in OK. OK is the American equivalant of Saudi Arabia.

that comment is as stupid as theys

OK is the state that produced the most liberal president in pre-Obama history. If he's going to have problems there, it's entirely conceivable that the entire train could derail come November.

Your comment about Obama buying an election is stupid and poorly constructed. I'm racking my brain but which president wasfrom Oklahoma? I'd think FDR at the top of the most liberal presidents ever.

Come on Casey. I've had time to research the President from Oklahoma. Who is he?

But, Obama just keeps on going - schooling Conks left and right.

Mea culpa.

I mixed up OK and AR there.

I'm sorry....

How is that possible? So, we're talking about Clinton?

Yes, Mark. Therefore, that particular comment makes no sense in this context. Please forget it.

THis thread whomps.

it makes no sense at all.

Moving forward, please restart your position. I yield my remaining time to the gentleperson from Lodi.

Let's just say that if President Obama is having problems winning even the primary in some counties, then he's going to have problems in the general election, regardless of who the GOP nominee is. I have no doubts that he will eventually win the primary. All I'm saying is that this could be an indication of trouble ahead.

We'll leave it at that.

possibly, but let not cry wolf. This was one primary.

That's true, Mark. All I said was that this should be a matter of concern for the Obama camp, not that his departure was a done deal because of this.

Clinton was center right and the best Republican president we've had since Ike.

Let me set you straight on a whole host of things (including something that jon got wrong)

1. "obama struggling in Oklahoma primary" isn't being covered much by the media because it isn't a story... Obama didn't "struggle" in Oklahoma... that would imply something was done... there was no effort put forward in the state because there didn't need to be one put forth.

Jon is wrong that there will be "no campaign" in the state - he likely has one staffer in a state like Oklahoma - someone whose job it is to wrangle volunteers and arrange activities to help in more competitive states... they certainly didn't concern themselves with a primary in state where their opponents are quacks. They'll get maybe ONE delegate out of this (out of several thousand to be apportioned throughout the country) - hardly something to boast.

2. Obama has less than zero chance at winning Oklahoma in the general... there are only a few states where Obama will do worse in 2012... Idaho, Utah and Wyoming maybe... so very little effort will be made at all to win.

3. You can extrapolate exactly NOTHING from a few sparsely populated western Oklahoma counties about Obama's chances in 2012 overall.

Reasonable people can disagree about the tea-leaves for November - but extrapolating from this is just... well, it's stupid.
