Why Aren't There More "Mitt Romney"-"Campaign Centers" in Oklahoma City?

Where I live, there are TWO (count `em, Two!) Obama-"campaign centers" within walking-distance of my apartment; I don't think I've even heard of a Mitt Romney campaign-center! (Granted; I haven't 'heard of' the Obama centers either, except to walk by them.)
Why do you think that is?
I think it's because Romney's campaign-people don't think he needs support in Oklahoma---the only state in which all the counties came out AGAINST Obama, Romney's crew might think he's relatively a shoe-in here (provided that no independent candidate pops up and takes the election by-storm).
But I don't even know why people would vote for Romney, except to get Obama's freebie-grubbing family off of our property! (You could- and I might-"Search the Web" (near the top of any myLot page) to find out which candidate has the best goals & responses.)

Some areas are just so heavily republican or democrat as to not be worth the time. Of all the states in the country I think McCain won OK by the most, something ridiculous like 72% and he didn't campaign there either. By the same token you won't see Obama setting up shop in far left states like Hawaii or Delaware.

I heard that Oklahoma was 100% for McCain (all of the counties, anyway; maybe the counties--on average--were each 72%)
Do you think Obama's 'shop set-ups' here will CHANGE the vote?

Politicians tend to campaign in the swing states the most. If a state is heavily Republican, they tend not to spend money and time there, because they would most likely win the state anyway. Politicians are limited on money and time - only a few more months until the election - so they generally only campaign where there needs to be campaigning. Likewise, they won't campaign in heavily democratic areas, because they probably won't get their votes anyway. So you're probably going to see a lot of campaigning in Missouri, Florida, Ohio, the Carolinas, etc.

Simply put, you're being taken for granted by the Romney campaign. As the others who have responded have already said since OK is such a sure thing for the GOP it would be just a waste of money for any Republican to spend much (if any!) money there. That having been said, I fail to understand how anyone could even consider voting for Romney! He stands for nothing and there isn't a single topic about which he hasn't outright lied at least once. He recently said we'll just have to "take his word" for the fact he's never paid less than 13% in taxes but there's precedent to show his "word" when it comes to tax returns isn't worth a penny.
Oh, well, I guess Mitt realizes most of the voters in Oklahoma are "OK" with his lies...lol!

No, it's that most Oklahomans--if they vote on a 'straight party-ticket' (which one needs to "Search the Web" to find out if they do, I haven't seen the stats on that)--are voting for the party that's truest to their name ... this place is a Republic, subconsciously making anyone who claims not to be Republican 'unworthy of government-office.'
Democrats can be democratic, yeah; just not when their job is to Rep. anyone but themselves.

What lies has 'he' (Romney OR Obama) told? Exact quotes.
