Ron Paul Backers vs. Oklahoma GOP in 'Raucous' Oklahoma State Convention

This is old news, but it's worth a moment to recall the fun and games of last month's Republican state convention in Oklahoma City.

It was a "rollicking" good time, according to press reports, complete with some philosophical (and physical!) fights between Rep. Ron Paul's rabid believers and more mainstream Oklahoma Republicans.

Here are some of the lowlights, as reported by Michael McNutt of The Oklahoman:
• Paul backers booed Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin 

• Paul backers booed former Minnesota governor and presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty

• A Paul supporter reported being hit in the head by Romney supporter

• The convention got "slogged down" in fights over credentials, so much so that Gov. Pawlenty's luncheon speech had to be cancelled and luncheon money refunded
Wow! Thanks to Paul's zealots, Oklahoma Republicans were—and are—an unorganized mess. For those of us on the other side of the aisle, this is good news.

The GOP hijinks remind us of the old Will Rogers quip: "I'm not a member of any organized political party. I'm a Democrat."

In the Sooner state today, that applies to the Republicans.
