McCain, the Arizona senator who lost the election to Democratic Sen. Barack Obama, got 65.6 percent of the vote in Oklahoma. That just edged the 65.2 percent margin that Wyoming gave McCain. According to the Washington Post, Oklahoma was the only state in which Obama didn’t win a single county.

McCain won 21 states Tuesday. Two others, Missouri and North Carolina, still were listed as being too close to call as of Wednesday evening.

Exit polls of Oklahoma voters showed McCain carried every age and income group and got about two-thirds of the vote from both male and female voters. He got 71 percent of all white voters.

McCain got 95 percent of the vote from those identifying themselves as Republicans, while Obama got 67 percent of the vote from those identifying themselves as Democrats, according to the polls.
