12. Some encouraging things about OK.
Wed Feb 24, 2016, 12:25 PM
Feb 2016

I've been phone-banking for Hillary with OK Dem voters. I don't live there, but am a Montanan by birth so understand some of the mindset and have enjoyed talking to them. Good people all, except for one lady who hung up on me, LOL.

Last week, most I reached (a lot didn't answer & there were wrong numbers, etc.) said that they were "Undecided," but last night "Hillary" won the night by a 4:1 ratio over Bernie and EVERYONE said that they were going to vote.

Perhaps the results in NV had something to do with that or perhaps there have been more HRC ads or whatever since.

In any event, half of those for Bernie volunteered that they would vote for whoever was the Dem candidate in the GE. I didn't specifically ask the question so was encouraged by that.

You are not alone, although it may seem so more often than not.

Perhaps OK can turn purple this year.

Maybe an overzealous Hillary supporter? Could it be? Or are Sanders supporters showing BlueCaliDem Feb 2016 #3
I doubt it was a Hillary supporter, my guess is one of my crazy Republican neighbors. redstatebluegirl Feb 2016 #4
