Republican presidential contender Ron Paul will have some competition when he shows up in Branson for a Friday night rally.
Former Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating — a Republican who served two terms and is a close ally of presumptive GOP presidential nominee John McCain –will be the featured speaker Friday night at the Missouri Republican Party’s pre-convention gala.
The state GOP’s event — like the Paul rally – begins at 7 p.m. on Friday, at the Chateau on the Lake Resort Spa and Convention Center in Branson, MO.
The rest of the article is the state GOP singing Keating’s praises. Don’t count me in — The one thing I remember about Frank Keating’s tenure as Governor of Oklahoma is that he did everything he could to prevent a real investigation into finding out the truth about what happened in his state’s capital city on April 19, 1995. As Keating is ex-FBI, he probably still maintained a lot of organizational fidelity with the Bureau, and thus had as much incentive as anyone not to let the truth come out, which would most likely be monumentally embarrassing to Federal law enforcement.
I think Keating’s arrogance is the reason why Oklahoma now has a two-term Democrat Governor, who won his first term in an upset victory in 2002.
