Why McCain Lost

I have been in Southern Iowa (or Northern Missouri, since they're both the same). Sometimes NPR is unavailable, so Christian radio and Rush Limbaugh are the things I listen to. It's all in good fun and a learning experience to hear this b...s... every so often.

Yesterday the main "Ditto Head" explained why Oklahoma was the only state that McCain carried every county in. Why, you ask?

According to Rush Baby:

1. No same day voter registration
2. Voter ID required
3. Voter registration ends 28 days before the election
4. Early voting only on the Saturday before the election

So, My Republican Friends, change those things in every state and get this country back on the "Right Wing Track".

I have my own theory, but don't want to offend my Oklahoma friends.

B/c it's a state wiht the 2nd-highest % of evangelicals in the country, few black people, and a bunch of crazy people scared of Muslims?

Because all my family members turned out to vote?

Because when rural Oklahomas were abandoned by the Socialist party in the early 1900s b/c they became too radical and were starting to blow things up (see: the Green Corn Rebellion), they took it really personally and decided to go as politically far as possible from socialism and to stay there permanently?
