Palin Effect Hits the Heartland

The Palin Effect is spreading. In Oklahoma, a GOP stronghold but a telling state nonetheless, the McCain-Palin ticket is up 65% to 32% for Obama-Biden. There will be no attacking the duo in this state - it's all but locked up.

Still, it is an important indicator that allows us to look at just how profoundly Sarah Palin is affecting the country. If there was any doubt before, it is being wiped away in even the most conservative states as her record or leaning to the right is becoming clear and giving John McCain the conservative credibility that he needs to make it into the White House.

John McCain is holding a 2-1 lead over Barack Obama in Oklahoma, according to the first Rasmussen survey of voters there this election year. Not only does the GOP presidential nominee have the backing of 95% of Republicans --- but 41% of Oklahoma Democrats support him, too. Independent voters are nearly evenly divided over the two candidates.

Good on you to keep posting as strongly as you have! It's the only way to fight the extreme bias of the mainstream media.

In case you need any actual facts to fight the smears, I'm carefully documenting as many as I can on my blog: http://Pelalusa.blogspot.com
