My favorite part of the article...

When delegates cast their votes, 256 more voted than were listed as approved delegates.

The mess wasn't cleared up until about 3 p.m.; a lunch featuring Pawlenty had to be canceled, with delegates told they would be refunded their money and then given 30 minutes to go out to lunch on their own.

Apparently that voter ID thing is only used to prevent Democrats from voting.

Sounds like there were a bunch of bullies there.

Did everyone leave with their hair intact?

This has got to be a joke:

Delegates approved a party platform amendment that allows the state Republican Party, effective this month, to withhold campaign funding to any GOP candidate who accepts a contribution from the Oklahoma Public Employees Association and/or the Oklahoma Education Association.

If I were part of those two groups, I would make small donations to every republican candidate just to cause chaos.
