Bridenstine vs. Sullivan

[Townsend]

He'll never live that one down...

Kind of a dirty Pinocchio thing.

Yeah, reminds me of a joke where a German is talking to an attractive woman as they are sharing a ride in a cab...

Bridenstine should have worn this:

TW editorial post on FB:

‎"Sullivan is an honest, hard-working congressman with the knowledge and experience to do the best job for the 1st District. On June 26, Republicans need to give John Sullivan a chance to do that job."

Well that settles it then.

I heard on local radio talking about groups supporting Sullivan and Bridenstine. Those supporting the latter could be optometrists and chiropractors; anyone know why?

Sullivan scratched their itch.  I'm interested to hear more about Bridenstine's background at TASM.  Sully has tried to disparage his tenure there.

You really want Sully to win. I don't care, but believe Sully is an obstructionist. He's turned into a teahead.

I bet Sully loses by one vote....yours.

Unfortunately I don't get to vote in this one.  It's time for Sullivan to be retired and explore other career opportunities.

Bates is hitting pretty hard on this one.

Mudschlock is involved in Bridenstine's campaign?  Say it ain't so Jim!

I really don't see belaboring the point of personal voting records since Bridenstine wasn't being paid to show up to vote and author legislation.  Does exercising or not exercising one's right to vote indicate what sort of legislator they will be?  Did he suddenly have an epiphany that he needed to become more politically active or is someone with an agenda footing his bill?

It's an easy deflection for the Sullivan camp, but I think time would be better spent analyzing Sullivan's voting record or lack thereof and what he's actually contributed in terms of drafting legislation which benefits his constituents back home in his district.  Having the third worst voting record of all GOP representatives is nothing to be proud of.

Sullivan has been buying ads on the Batesline website for a while. Not surpisingly, Bates is attacking Bridenstine.

Got a flyer today. I'm having trouble pulling up to verify the records but it appears Bridenstine didn't register to vote until he was 23 and since then he has only voted in 1 out of ever 3 elections. Elections he skipped include presidential and governor races.

Whoops

I look at this election this way, better to stick with the devil you know rather than the devil you don't know.   It really concerns me Bridenstine trying to run to the right of Sullivan.  You would almost have to be a member of the Taliban to do that.   

I wish the Democrats would run someone like Dan Boren but the Democrats are in such disarray in Oklahoma no such candidate appears to be on the horizon. 

Disclosure:  yes I am a Republican have been for 42 years.   But I voted for Doug Dodd twice and Georgianna Oliver when they ran for Sullivan's seat.  I have known Dan Sullivan since he was a State Representative and was very surprised when he ran for Congress and that he won because I have never been impressed with his intelligence even back then.

Predictions please....

looks to me like Sully gets central Tulsa while BrideofStine gets outlying areas.

This story may get National interest should Sully go down to defeat after carrying Norquist's water....
