What they said....

Michael, do you recall the "conversation" at the Republican Woman's luncheon between you and Dewey where Dewey was for non -partisan elections? Now he is for partisan elections...and signed a petition to say so....go figure....I guess it's who ever pressures him the most who gets what they want. Greaaaaaaat just what we need......
The question actually came from Sally Bell, and it wasn't clear from Bartlett's answer whether he was for or against. He seemed to be torn between whatever opinion he held (for, I would guess) and the answer he sensed would win favor with the room (against). (
Here's the video.)
During that same forum, Medlock pointed out that the same group pushing non-partisan elections -- Tulsans for Better Government -- started out pushing for at-large councilors. Medlock said that Bartlett had been a charter member of that group. Bartlett did not speak up to deny involvement, defend his involvement, or even to say, "I have no idea what you're talking about." It's as if he hadn't yet figured out that the at-large issue and the group that pushed it were political liabilities.
