1. Some of Oklahoma's delegation left the floor in fury last night.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — U.S. Rep. Ron Paul received two votes from Oklahoma during Wednesday's Republican National Convention roll call, but no one heard it. The microphone was cut off after U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa, announced the 39 delegate votes for U.S. Sen. John McCain, but before he could announce the two votes for Paul.

People "who watched it on TV saw that all 41 votes from Oklahoma went for John McCain, which is not the truth,” Demarest said.

Frustrated, he and his wife, Cheryl, ripped the Oklahoma patches off their blue blazers — part of the Oklahoma GOP's uniform — before leaving the convention center. They said they were done with Oklahoma's delegation.

2. This was in Tulsa's paper?
Let me guess--the paper is for Ron Paul. But I'm glad they ran the cartoon, and I hope the paper suggests that folks vote Libertarian--think enough Paul supporters will do that to tip OK to the Dems by denying McCain their votes?
