Ten years ago, Oklahoma's only Republican Mens Club was about to dissolve. About a dozen or so members remained of the group which once has led by Frank Keating, Dewey Barlett, Jim Inhofe, and others. In the 1970s & 80s, this club was the energy & brains of a conservative takeover of Oklahoma govt. leadership. Today the municipal activist group is nearing 100 attendees at their lunchtime monthly meetings. The club now grants full membership to Republican women and works in concert with about a half dozen other Tulsa area conservative groups, on issues and elections. Today, a local preacher sought to take over the presidency of the group, but was soundly defeated. Rev. Bill Shepherd and his wife, Melissa; ran for president and secretary. But in both races, the vote was a crushing defeat. SoonerPolitics monitored the voting and ballot count. the process was repeatedly interrupted by Melissa Shepherd's insistence that she inspect and capture video of each ballot. She even grabbed ballots off the election judges' table when the tabulators refused to hold each ballot up to her own cellphone, as they processed and tallied every entry.
