Hiett "humiliated"
Online Democratic forum
Demookie.com has the inside scoop on the just completed Speaker Designate election. It Appears all was not cookies and cream during the Republican caucus meeting:
"Representative Lance Cargill survived an attempt by Todd Hiett to derail his candidacy. Outsiders heard alot(sic) of spin before the cauccus (sic) meeting, saw the group break after "heated discussions" only to reconvene.
Here's the inside. Hiett was humiliated by Rep. Chris Hastings(Tulsa) in one of his last defiant acts. Hastings sucessfully moved to close debate and prohibit Hiett from discussing the questionable absentee ballots.
The winner "Not ready for Prime Time" Lance Cargill, the big loser, Ex-Speaker Todd Hiett and Dan Sullivan. Several legislators will continue the mutiny by endorsing Sen. Pruitt in the primary for Lt. Gov. It seems some of these House GOP's will carry the grudge into the next election.
Cargill faces Democrat Abe Warren in the November election. Hiett believes he is entitled to be Lt. Gov. Chris Hastings is in his final days and is laughing his a** off on his drive back to Tulsa."
