It is a mistake to assume that Oklahoma is a lost cause or full of ignorant redneck fundamentalists not worthy of any blue person's attention.

Because we are the home of "Rampant Lesbianism" Coburn and "Global Warming is a Myth" Inhofe. Because Inhofe is the CHAIR of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and Coburn is one of the republican majority on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
And because the most recent Sooner Poll conducted on behalf of The Tulsa World (subscription required) shows our Governor Brad Henry, Democrat, with a 72% approval rating.
