On Second Thought, Andrew...
When Barack Obama endorsed Andrew Rice in Oklahoma's U. S. Senate race, some wondered why, given the perception that Rice was running far better than Obama in Oklahoma and an Obama endorsement likely hurt Rice rather than helped him.
Statewide, that may have been the case.
But in the state's two largest counties, Oklahoma and Tulsa, Rice actually ran behind Obama. In Oklahoma County, Obama got 116,133 votes while Rice got 112,372. In Tulsa County, Obama got 96,106 votes while Rice got 93,475. Rice outpolled Obama in most of the other 75 counties.
