Oklahoma is a winner take all state and yet we had some Paul people that wanted to vote for Paul. One was in a district won by Huckabee and he released his delegates but the other one was in my district and we went solidly for McCain.
Everyone going to the Convention said they would support the nominee but guess what some “lied” but they had Sen Inhofe to deal with. Paul didn’t get enough votes in OK to mention but yet they wanted to vote for him.
Don’t think you realize what a tough time some of us have had with his people at our local Conventions. You should see the OK GOP Platform where they managed to themselves on the Platform Committee thanks to someone at OK GOP. It was only good for the trash can.
Several states are winner take all and this happened with. I laughed that some didn’t show up because there where at parties put on by Paul’s own counter rally, and the Paul delegates in Massachusetts freely swapped their votes to McCain when asked if they wanted to provide a unanimous show of support.
You know, that is actually kinda low for Mr. Inhofe. It is not like Paul was going to win the convention vote or anything. I especially found it bad that the speaker woman didn't mention Paul's name when he got votes from Alaska, Washington, West Virginia and Oregon.
Paul recieved 1.2 million primary votes. It doesn't do anyone any good to push that wing of the conservative movement under the bus while allowing a leftist like Joe Lieberman to freely speak at the convention.

What'd they do? Add an anti-federal reserve plank to the platform like some Paul supporters reportedly did in Idaho? Oh no....
