Mayor Candidates: Who are the Serious Contendors?

[jackbristow]

I scanned through the list on the World's website and it looks like most of them are jokes.  The only one's who even appeared like serious candidtates were Tom Adelson, Dewey Bartlett Jr., Chris Medlock, Mark Perkins, Michael Rush and Norris Streetman. 

So who are the true contendors?

Tom Adelson versus the field of idjits. Does Dewey have handlers watching him like back in the early 80's? Will Mudschlock use mud? Anna does Tulsa?

It seems that Bartlett is well funded, based on the amount of signs, ads, and phone calls I have received.   Mrs. Falling had very professional campaign literature, so she has some funding behind her too.  Medlock is established in Tulsa politics and will have to be taken seriously.    /off the top of my head

Have you seen Medlock's blog? It's all attacks on other candidates, not a word on what he's for or wants to do, it's all mudslinging. It's all he's any good at.

Conan, I think he's in need of your suit.

I predict Adelson vs. Bartlett.  I like Adelson, he has my support.

My suit?  Are you kidding?  I borrowed it from Mudschlock!  Does he remind anyone of Conan O'Brien just a little?  Kind of like his mal-formed 80 I.Q. twin or something.

Hmmm... Adleson and Bartlett.  <edited to remove incomplete nonsense>

LOL...it's him! If Chris could only mimic Conan he'd have a chance.

Medlock looks just like the red shirt guy from the Wiggles.

I guess that's better than being the pink Teletubby.

Regarding the upcoming municipal Primary Election, let's ask ourselves why these elective offices, for Mayor and city council, do NOT have Run-Off elections.

Our county and state offices have run-offs if no candidate receives 51% of the vote.

WHY a local Winner-Take-All primary, which in the last mayoral election gave us wounded incumbent Mayor Bill LaFortune garnering barely 40% of the REPUBLICAN vote, showing that a majority of the GOP voters preferring someone else??

Think about it, and feel free to comment.

I have an opinion as to WHY, which I'll gradly opine if this thread continues thereafter. 

Hint:  Follow the Money.........

I'd thought leading a guild in World of Warcraft would have counted for political experience.

I'm kinda surprised I havent' seen an FB post about my competitor, who works for Kaiser.
