Oklahoma Republican Voters Vocal and Not Happy. What does that mean? By Shelli Dawdy Of course one night walking blocks for a couple of candidates isn't necessarily an indicator of a trend. But it's interesting when it coincides with national polling results in at least one important aspect. (See this Gallup poll regarding party affiliation.) While out walking blocks yesterday in two Oklahoma neighborhoods, several folks either indicated they were no longer Republicans or would not be voting. In one instance, a gentleman who is known to be more liberty-oriented by his neighbors flatly refused to change his registration back to Republican even to vote for liberty-minded candidates. Perhaps that particular fellow is a rarity, its one thing to answer "Independent" to a pollster, it's another matter to go to the trouble of actually changing one's voter registration.
