A series of polls shows Hillary Clinton leading Bernie Sanders by 20-plus percentage points in all of the SEC-region states except Oklahoma, which has fewer African-Americans. (Public Policy Polling)

In re Oklahoma, I phone-banked for Hillary last night, calling voters in OK. Everyone I reached (lots of wrong numbers or no answers) was actually very pleasant and interested in the election. No one I spoke to was for Bernie outright, although there were several who were undecided and who told me that they wouldn't decide until they were actually in the voting booth. !!! Hope my call convinced them that Hillary should be their choice. One (all were registered Dems) said he would vote for a Republican, but didn't share which one.

Some were strongly for Hillary and some leaned Hillary. The things that bothered them most: "Benghazi," "partial-birth abortion," and whether Hillary had "accepted Christ."

I enjoyed talking to them, no matter what their answer was, and they seemed to enjoy talking to me. It was the first-time I ever did it - was "Hatched-Out" from such activities for several years and out of the country for others. It is always fun to talk to my fellow citizens in person. I'll be phone-banking for Hillary again! It was also a good group of folks to phone-bank with and more were POC and women (or both) than not ....
