another key to mccain's victory was the highly populated counties of tulsa county, which he won with over 62%, and oklahoma county, which he won with over 58%. he also dominated the heavily republican oklahoma panhandle by an almost four-to-one margin. despite the republican landslide, obama did improve upon john kerry's performance in oklahoma city and tulsa. however, this was more than canceled out by his extremely weak showing in southeast oklahoma, historically the most democratic region in the state. this socially conservative but fiscally liberal area, known as "little dixie," still votes democratic at the local level and state levels. it also warmly supported bill clinton of neighboring arkansas in 1992 and 1996; clinton's populism struck a chord among the region's voters. the last two democratic nominees, on the other hand, have proven spectacularly bad fits for the region and the state as a whole. obama lost many counties in southeast oklahoma by more than two-to-one margins.

as the sport grew in the 1960s and 1970s, each nation devised its own set of rules and regulations. the need for more clearly defined and consistent rules for international competitions led to the formation of an ardf working group by the international amateur radio union (iaru) in the late 1970s. the first ardf event to use the new standardized rules was the 1980 world championship. these rules have been revised and updated over the years, increasing the number of gender and age categories into which competitors are classified, as well as formalizing the start and finish line procedures. while some variations exist, these standardized rules have since been used worldwide for ardf competitions, and the iaru has become the principal international organization promoting the sport. the iaru divides the world into three "regions" for administrative purposes. these regions correspond with the three regions used by the international telecommunications union for its regulatory purposes, but the iaru has also used these regions for sports administration. the first iaru region i (europe, africa, the middle east, and ex-ussr) championship was held in 1993 in chtelnica, slovakia, the first iaru region iii (asia and oceania) championship was held in 1993 in beijing, china, and the first iaru region ii (north and south america) championship was held in 1999 in portland, oregon, usa. in addition to participation in international events, most nations with active ardf organizations hold annual national championships using the iaru rules.
