Makes as much sense as staying home and not voting to protest the establishment.
You just show up because it's your civic duty. Is what it is. |

Will there be any more polling done before the 28th? Can GT pull this off despite Dewey's negative ads?

I'm hopeful but I have no faith in the electorate. |

I'm rooting for GT! it's time for Dewy to go, he's no conservative and he served 2 terms re-electing the same guy over & over is part of the problem, Dewy seems a bit dim. IMO it's time for a change someone new. Dewy did not really earn a 2nd term but we had no choice back then with Kathy it was a matter of the lessor of two evils. Time to go Dewy!

Yeah....kinda funny, ain't it? There is none so pious as a repentant sinner..... Or the new motivation for him and the whole Doobie, Failin', Inhofe Clown Show is to get some Dems in there for a term and then try to re-direct, disseminate, lie, and distort to try to make the mess being cleaned up all due to the new people. Just like they have tried with Faux News and Obama.... |

I've been actively following local politics since the mid 90's when Susan Savage was mayor. This is the first time I can remember a sitting mayor/major candidate giving the bird to the League of Women Voters and blowing off their mayoral candidate forum.
Really, Dooey? Given three potential dates, you can't even bother to respond to them? This is a non-partisan group that simply works to provide unbiased information to voters. It's a forum with no agenda other than to allow citizens to hear the candidates respond to questions.
Blowing off the League of Women Voters, and avoiding public forums and debates with GT is ridiculous. It proves to me that Dooey doesn't believe he can win a debate on the merits of his positions. Dooey likes sound bites, negative ads, and little feel-good get-togethers with "patriots." That's not what we need in a mayor. We need a mayor who can have a coherent discussion about identifying important issues, solving problems, inspiring citizens, and working together with all Tulsans... not just right-wing republican buddies in town.
Having a mayor who refuses to appoint democrats to boards and commissions is just flat out weird. The fact that his staff looks for people who attend his church or give money to his campaigns when deciding who to appoint is scary.
GT is not perfect, but he is head and shoulders above Dooey when it comes to dedication to the broader Tulsa community, basic intelligence, and willingness to listen to different perspectives and discuss the issues. I respect him even when I disagree with him. Having Dooey as our mayor embarrasses me.

He's probably busy trying to find a fire-retardant phone before he commits. You know how bad that would look for his phone to spontaneously combust? Especially if it happens right in the middle of an important (911) phone call.  |

I was surprised by the Mayor's answers to the TN questions: http://www.tulsanow.org/forum/index.php?topic=21330.0He seems to either have progressed on some issues like transportation and planning or he was answering the questions based on his perception of the audience. |

^^This. I notice the Bartlet (sic) camp sent out a mailer yesterday with an endorsement of “conservative” Dewby from Tom Coburn on one side and saying Kathy Taylor “sponsors” GT on the other. It’s an obvious angle to paint GT as a liberal. I have noticed, however that many progressives are backing GT. |

I've noticed here in the last few days the ad that Dooey is running talking about GT's 'Washington lobbyist background'. Guess I didn't know that but I'm of the belief 'anybody but Dooey' right now. |

I saw those ads too but had trouble understanding how having a successful lobbyist as a mayor would be a bad thing. It's not like he has any defense contracts to hand out.

That's the definition of lying. |

I swear I just heard the Mayor call into the Diane Rehm show to defend Trump's campaign strategy.
