With 98 percent of precincts reporting Tuesday, Obama won 57 percent of the vote. Four other candidates combined for 43 percent of the vote, including anti-abortion activist and Operation Rescue founder Randall Terry who received 18 percent of the vote.
According to Democratic Party rules, Terry is eligible for a delegate since he won more than 15 percent of the statewide vote. Terry beat Obama in 12 counties, mostly in western Oklahoma. Terry acknowledges he can't win the presidency but says he hopes to cause Obama's defeat in the fall.
Terry won 15 Oklahoma counties in what has to be the most anti-Obama state in the country. A number of folks ran against the President with the clear intent of weakening him, and it showed with the President getting less than 60% of the vote. Randall Terry says he plans to "torment" the President and steal delegates from him in a number of swing states.
“There are still Democrats who love innocent babies more than they love the party,” he said from his Tulsa campaign office. “(Obama’s) policies of murdering babies is going to deny him the White House.”
Terry promised to torment Obama in the upcoming New Jersey primary, take delegates to the national convention to voice a pro-life agenda, and run on the general election ballot in six swing states.
Yeah, Terry is a certified loon. Give him his 15 minutes of fame and then be done with him as far as I'm concerned.
But hey, at least Terry is honest with his abject hatred for the Preisdent, right? More than I can say for some "Democrats."
