They call it Little Dixie and they call Alabama and Mississippi the Deep South. I'm not so sure on the Buckle on the Bible Belt claim. Anyway, Oklahomans tend to be more more religious, as someone's map previously pointed out, and predominately Baptist. Oklahoma also shares the same historic political trends with southern states with Yellow Dog Democrats that are more closely alligned with the Republican party philosophy. Oklahoma was the only state that all counties voted for McCain in the last election. There is also that Okie southern drawl and that cannot be mistaken for someone from one of the Midwest states. Finaly, there is football - the true state religion.

And I agree, Maryland is not a Southern state. You can argue that states south of the Mason/Dixon line are Southern and while this may be geographically true, that does not make them a Southern state. There is a huge difference between being in the south and being Southern...just ask all the New Yorkers that move down here!

Trust me, I've lived in both places.

Edit: I wasn't aware of that, thanks Naj.

Edit: I wasn't aware of that, thanks Naj. VA is like that and so is MD (My Name is Earl is kinda based on Southern MD, if you've seen the show you know what those folks are like!) Honestly, it's all about culture, not geography. I was in the service with a girl from OK who HATED Yanks, but she was dating my friend from IL. They basically broke up cause she didn't want to bring a Northerner home to Paw (and dude was hardly a Yank.)

Southeast Oklahoma is filled with a lot of hillbillies and western Oklahoma with a lot of rednecks. Over time, the hillbillies and the rednecks have interbred and you get the modern day Oklahoman.

Posts: 603 (05/21/09 6:53 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Oh good grief. Hillbillies need hills to be called hillbillies. Rednecks can survive out on the plains. That is why Okies call those from eastern oklahoma as the "hills and trees" folk. And, I'm just joking, but only halfway. Last Edited By: Kanunu 05/21/09 6:56 PM. Edited 1 times.

I know, I know, it has gone red most times before, but being a blue in a red state, I was very excited!!! But yes, that actually is a MUCH better distinction than just saying the winners are Southern. But not all winners were rednecks...some were just plain poor white/black trash too! Ah, you misinterpreted my: "Every winner has hailed from a state that voted for the republican in the last presidential election." I meant in the last presidential election prior to their win. In 2003, North Carolina was still a red state. As someone who has lived there for the past 5 years, I'm proud of its turn to blue too!

It is part of the South West Region, and at times just considered a Southern State depending on what "region" map you use as reference.
