Mayor 2013: Negative ad campaigns

[Conan71]

I notice Dooey is playing hard and fast with the facts.  I heard a commercial last night which accused Taylor of laying off police while spending $141 million on a new City Hall.  If Dooey hasn't figured out the difference between capital budgets and operating budgets, it's time for him to leave that cushy chair in the nice new City Hall he's enjoyed the last four years.

You suppose there's a kegerator with

Who the Smoot is asking?

I'm sure he knows the difference, but he's betting (probably rightly) that a lot of his would-be voters don't.

Dewey stated the other night something to the effect that one of the main reasons that Tulsa is different than Portland is that Portland is on the ocean.

As much as I hope he understands budgets, my faith is wavering.

He also said that if Turkey Mountain was taller, we would be just like Denver.

During the Studio Tulsa interview he said his "gee-whiz dream" would be for Tulsa to buy and take over "PBS" by which I think he meant OETA for use as a local government station/PBS affiliate combination. He also trashed density as a model for Tulsa, stating that Tulsa needed to grow north and that the Gilcrease extension across the river was critical to this growth.

I'm not sure I've been to the part of north Tulsa that has the Arkansas river in the middle of it.

Well I'm not sure about that. But it sounds like it was named after him.  

[Hoss]

It would have to be named something like Teléfono en la montaña de fuego then.

At least in that comparison Denver isn't an hour and a half away from mountains like portland is from the pacific.

Between the homicide rate being on record pace this year and Mayor Bartlet (sic) refusing to meet with the council over the budget shortfall, that's all Taylor's campaign could focus on at this point.  I'm curious if he's started writing his concession speech yet.

I truly believe a quarter to a third of the votes for Dooey will be simply because some people won't be able to bring themselves to vote for Taylor.  She can be a very polarizing person.  I really don't know anyone who is luke warm about her.  Either you really like her and her management style or you absolutely cannot stand her.

He'll probably be out of town, only to find out he lost upon his return.
"Hello. . .security. . .my key won't work, can someone let me in?"

"Uh, sir, you don't actually work here anymore."

That depends on traffic.

We should start Deweyisms

Tulsa would be like LA, if we hade more earthquakes

Tulsa would be like Washington DC, if we had the redskins.

Tulsa would be like Pittsburgh, if we had a river.

[Red Arrow]

Tulsa would be like Pittsburgh, if we had a river.

You must be a young guy.
Tulsa would be like Pittsburgh if we used to be covered in coal soot.
Tulsa would be like Pittsburgh if we were where two rivers joined to create a third river.

Any more Ed W?
