Ahahahaha. The reader quoted about the biome map in this post on The Dish is me. (http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/07/23/where-is-the-midwest-ctd/) (And when I said "Idabel, down in the southwestern corner" that was a brain fart -- south*eastern* corner.)
Oklahoma is TOTALLY on the dividing line of midwest, south, southwest and west, geographically, ecologically, and culturally, so it kind of depends on what part you're talking about. I didn't click Tulsa in your poll, but I'm not firm about that at all. I drove out to Fayetteville a couple of weeks ago, and it was fascinating how, when I got off of I-44 and hit the Cherokee Turnpike to go east, how fast the terrain changed. It was gorgeous over there.
This kid I know, songwriter, has a song with the verse:
Central Oklahoma is my land It's my country Eastern Oklahoma is a beautiful sight Northern Oklahoma might as well be Kansas Never go to southern Oklahoma at night.
