I have no hope for Oklahoma now. Even back in the 1940s, my grandfather Burnham voted Democratic sometimes, I think. But that was in the old days. He became a Goldwater Republican by 1964. And he even denounced W. J. Bryan in his letters to me by then, since he remembered the campaign. He was typical.
The state has one of the most Republican voting records of any state in the last half century. I keep up with these things, you know. It's just too traditional. It's pro-religious right and pro-military too. Some conservative Democrats have won statewide races, but it's been a long time since moderate Sen. Boren held the Senate seat for Democrats. It is unlikely that any politicians with liberal economics views can win in your state for the foreseeable future.
But, it's up to you guys if maybe you can try an anti-Wall St. approach and get a few moderate Democrats elected in your state government. I wouldn't bet on it if I were you.
