Oklahoma is getting in the game of predicting which republican presidential candidate will be the last man or woman standing.
The Oklahoma Republican Party is launching the first ever Presidential Straw Poll.
Chairman Matt Pinnell says it's time for the reddest state to give the whole country an accurate prediction.
He says, “Nothing could be a more accurate barometer of Republican primary voters than to poll those in the most conservative state in the country."
Oklahoma got the label of the 'reddest state in America' after all 77 Oklahoma counties went red in 2008, garnering the highest percentage of the vote in the country for the McCain/Palin ticket.
Now, republican leaders hope to gain more notoriety with the new poll.
Pinnell says, "Many states hold presidential straw polls every four years creating national publicity and financial support for their respective state."
Voters will be able to vote November 21st through December 5th.
The results will be announced on the 5th.
