Title: Karen Keith Rakes in the Mid-Town Moola Post by: Friendly Bear on September 05, 2008, 12:05:50 pm Today's Lorton's World has an interesting article that former TV personality and Democrat candidate for Tulsa County Commissioner has raised FIVE times as much money as her GOP opponent Sally Bell.
Large donations are flowing from what some local radio and weblog pundits have often referred to as: The Mid-Town Elitists. You know that bunch. The ones who've controlled our Banana Republic of Tulsa on behalf of the local ruling Power Establishment, for the past 50 years. Conclusion: Karen Keith is OWNED. For real REFORM., don't vote for the status quo. Here's the link to the article. http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectID=11&articleID=20080905_16_A8_Forafi317342 Title: Karen Keith Rakes in the Mid-Town Moola Post by: TURobY on September 05, 2008, 12:12:59 pm I think I'm going to send some money her way as well.

Karen Keith has raised $88,881 from 366 different donors. It averages to $242.84 per donor. Sally Bell has raised $17,726 from 73 donors. It averages to $242.82 per donor. The difference is two cents per donor. You are just trying to make up a slam against a wonderful public servant. Karen just has more friends and has done a better job of fundraising than Sally Bell. You are not a bear, you are a pig.

Just because one candidate raises more money does not mean they are owned. You are not a pig, you are a lying dog.

I got the same results as Recycle so Mr Bear you are the one who needs a math refresher, either that or your using the new Republican math. Smear anyone and everyone no matter what the truth is is the new Republican way of politics.
Title: Karen Keith Rakes in the Mid-Town Moola Post by: Friendly Bear on September 05, 2008, 02:30:29 pm quote: Ms. Keith has FIVE times the amount of political campaign contributions than Sally Bell. And, Keith has about FIVE times the number of contributors. Mrs. Bell has 1/5 of the amount of campaign contributions, and 1/5 the number of individual contributors of Ms. Keith. That's why the AVERAGE donation amounts are approximately the same. The average is also meaningless. You stick one hand in boiling water, and the other hand in ice water, and on AVERAGE you feel fine. That's how averages work. Next math lesson, for those math-challenged patrons of the local Indian Casinos, we'll cover a new subject: BASIC LAW of PROBABILITY. Might be insightful. For those keen students who want to work ahead, tonite's home work assignment is to flip a Quarter 100x. Write down the results after each flip. Heads, or, Tails.

She has 5 times the money and 5 times the contributors because she has 5 times the support. My guess would be more but I'll stick with the proven money. In other words she's favored. What is your point?

Statistics support that theory. But, it doesn't well account for public sentiment. Seems the public is interested in real change at the County or they would've kept Randi Miller. Keith is more of the same. What was the budget for the anti-River Tax group again?

Don't be so hard on Karen. Many donations have come in un-solicited. There will be a full investigation into Ms. Miller's mal-feasance and the whole Murphy infestation if Karen is elected. As I've previously mentioned, Sally cannot spearhead a non-partisan investigation and work to get the county cleaned up. I'm a huge skeptic of the establishment, you're going to have to trust me on this one. I wouldn't have agreed to help her if I wasn't convinced she'd keep her word, nor if I thought she was going to carry the water for the usual suspects.

FB, you are offensive. Disagree with Karen's politics all you like. Insinuate (and look stupid doing so) that her experience is inferior to hiring a bunch of teens to serve food on a stick and run decrepit bumper boat rides. But to bring up Karen's uterus? In a county commission race? It serves no point other than to confirm your lack of sense and couth. Title: Karen Keith Rakes in the Mid-Town Moola Post by: TURobY on September 08, 2008, 09:45:05 pm I think that Bear is implying that if she's not burdened with children, then she'd be an even better choice. Her entire focus would be on the county, instead of on her children. Is that what you were trying to convey? [;)]
Title: Karen Keith Rakes in the Mid-Town Moola Post by: Conan71 on September 08, 2008, 11:10:25 pm I'm tired of Karen getting picked on. I'm voting twice for her to make up for the meanies.

Thank you for your seven paragraph letter personally addressed to me AND the glossy insert extolling Vision, Experience, Integrity. Wow! The buzz words! I'm amazed at the depth and breadth! Are you sure this was meant for me? But what's this??? An envelope? Oh my! You want money from little ole me? Sorry Ms. Keith I happen to know you've already collected more than I make in a year. And, you've received those funds from Tulsa's wealthiest elite. It's laughable that you already want my money before you are elected. I'm sure you will come after more IF you are elected. Oh, and what this? I have to put my own stamp on it? Wow! Ms. Keith you will not be receiving my money. You will, however, be receiving a no vote from me. Your mailing proves just how out of touch you are else, I would not have received this from you. Yours truly, Carol Snyder Title: Karen Keith Rakes in the Mid-Town Moola Post by: waterboy on September 12, 2008, 07:38:11 am quote: You must be one of those tons of hypocritical Tulsans who are registered as Democratic or Independent yet wouldn't dream of ever voting for a Democrat unless is was a Dino. Change your registration or stop voting altoghether and you won't receive such "offensive" mailings. I like a good underdog, prairie fire candidate that comes from nowhere and makes a big splash ([:P]) by overcoming all odds. Maybe that's Bell. I doubt it. The amount of money collected in an election is still a good indicator of support, especially if it comes from a wide array of donors. Inhofe, Coburn, Taylor, and other locals prove it over and over. There simply are not enough negatives about Keith to oppose her. However, Bell taking a position on the 10 North Yale development seems strange to me. That isn't county land is it? Isn't she just demagoguing?
