Rick Santorum made a last-minute stop to the state over the weekend, while Herman Cain and former Oklahoma congressman J.C. Watts stumped for Gingrich Monday.
Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn recently endorsed Mitt Romney's bid for the Republican presidential nomination.
Polls from earlier in the week showed Santorum with the lead amongst Oklahoma voters.
