Oklahoma Republican Party
The Oklahoma Democratic Party yesterday reminded Oklahoma Democrats to go vote for President Obama. Unfortunately for them, many didn’t take that advice.
President Barack Obama’s victory Tuesday in Oklahoma’s Democratic primary was far less decisive than typical for an incumbent president, losing fifteen counties and costing him an unanimous re-nomination.
“These results prove that even Democrats are dissatisfied with the job President Obama has done,” said Oklahoma Republican Party Chairman Matt Pinnell. “From bailouts, to suffocating regulations and debt, to his Keystone Pipeline decision, this President has failed and it’s time we make a change this November.”
Four other candidates combined for 44 percent of the Democrat vote, including anti-abortion candidate and Operation Rescue founder Randall Terry who received 18 percent of the vote.
Obama lost all 77 counties in Oklahoma in 2008. John McCain’s 65.64% share of the Oklahoma vote was the highest in the nation.
“We were ahead of the curve in 2008, and once again in 2012, Oklahoma is right again: it’s time to make Barack Obama a one term President,” concluded Pinnell.
