Mark Perkins, does he have a chance?

[SXSW]

I have liked what Mark brings to the table over Adelson and Bartlett since I found out he was running for mayor.  However like all independent candidates, at least in Oklahoma, I realized he probably couldn't compete with the 'big boys'.  However with the mud slinging going on between Adelson and Bartlett, and the general lack of interest in either of them, I wonder if Mark could make a run?  He is young and seems fresh and upbeat, with lots of good ideas.

I think he will get more votes than previous independents, but will he win? No.

Knowing a bit about being a political third wheel, if he can raise money and endorsements then yes. Having no party backing you... makes it hard to get either one. I keep waiting for some massive advertising, endorsements, etc and I haven't seen it yet. Time is running out.

My prediction:
Adelson - 46
Bartlett - 40
Perkins - 14

Perkins won't get 14%.

He is very likable and will someday run as a republican for other office. The Independent registered voter is less likely to vote in an election like this.

I know we live in dumbf*ckistan, but do you really think there are enough dumf*ckistanians to elect screwy Dewey?

Here, they are Tulsalites...and within the center of town, Deweys neighborhood, TA gets the votes.

But Dewey has sold his soul to the company store bible thumpers and zealots. Certainly dirty industry wants him. The outer areas will elect Dewey unless a better effort of getting Screwy to tell us his ideas for a futuristic city persists.

Death to the two party system.  Worst thing to EVER happen to American politics.  Worse than the Red Scare, Jimmy Carter, and Sarah Palin put together.

Best I can tell he hasn't. I talked to people from TARA, OKSAFE, and other groups like that and they wantedf nothing to do with Dewey.

Again with the attacks on the Republican 2012 nominee!  Tow the line!

Mark who ?

[SXSW]

With Adelson and Bartlett in a b!tch fight, does anyone think Perkins picks up even more votes?  I think a lot of people are sick of Adelson and Bartlett and Perkins is the only alternative.

It's starting to look more like Perkins will get my vote instead of Adleson

You'd vote for a complete novice for our Mayor?

To answer the original question:

No. Perkins has no chance.
