DJ, while Oklahoma didn't secede, that is true, I think there was strong secessionist support there... had it been a state, I'd guess it'd have probably joined the South. There was some slavery in Oklahoma, yes?
Anyway, yeah, this secessionist thing isn't going to go anywhere, but sure, the conservatives should be frustrated... in the popular vote they've lost five of the last six presidential elections, after all, and it looks like things are going to get even worse for them in the future unless they can manage to somehow attract women, latinos, and/or black people... and I'm very doubtful about any of that. As much as some Republicans admit that their current older white male focus is a losing proposition longer-term, they don't want to change any of their actual policy positions, and that's what really matters!
