Fallin Packs a Lot Into Roll Call Speech
In announcing Oklahoma’s delegate count at the Republican National Convention here Tuesday, Gov. Mary Fallin packed in a lot of references: Janna Little Ryan, faith and freedom, red state and some other things.
She was standing next to her husband, Wade Christensen.
Here it is, in rough form:
“A state that believes in faith, family and freedom, a state that has one of the strongest economies in the United States and an unemployment rate of 4.9 percent, a state that in the heartland and is the home of Janna Little Ryan. It’s also the state that is the reddest state in the nation where Barack Obama lost every single county.”
She then cast 34 of Oklahoma’s delegate votes to GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney and 6 for Rep. Ron Paul, who ran unsuccessfully for president.
