I went to the Mayor Mick Watch Party at Tower Theater last night. That was a bummer.
I never go to these types of things. They're not my style, and there's always a chance a Hefner may stab me in the heart with an old bottle of Galimaro Sauce, but with some of my fellow poker buddies, trivia night hosts, Golden Tee tutors and daycare dads in attendance, I figured it would be nice to swing by. Plus, as a Joe Exotic-supporting liberal independent voter with no paw in the race, I thought it would be fun to observe the OKC GOP political establishment in its natural habitat.
Naturally, the first person I ran into at a Mick Cornett for Governor watch party was the last person you'd expect to run into at a Mick Cornett for Governor watch party – this guy:
Yeah, that's right. Mick Cornett's old burrito-slingin' nemesis Steve Hunt was there and, surprisingly, he wasn't being tackled by bodyguards in suits. I seriously had to do a double-take. It would be like seeing Gary Richardson waltz out of the restroom at Kevin Stitt's watch party in Tulsa.
