Tom or Dewey - What's a Republican To Do?

[Wrinkle]

It'll be interesting to watch the dynamics as Dewey backers realise their candidate has foiled his own chances to win.

This only gets better:

Joe Kelley on KRMG was reviewing the video of the commercial this morning.  One obvious flaw is that the "Tulsa" skyline shown at the first of the commerical is actually OKC.  Another is the word interview is spelled "inteview".

Not only is Dewey trying to make hay with comments taken totally out of context, he appears to have a hard time finding anyone to work for him who can spell or proof-read.

This race is far from over...six weeks is forever in election time.

I agree that it appears that Bartlett's campaign folk have been making some simple mistakes and it has hurt him.

I was disappointed that he did not attend the candidate forum held last night at the Garden Center. There were 78 people in the room, many of which had not made up their mind.

[Wrinkle]

It's almost as though...., naw. Surely the Bartlett campaign screens its' campaign personnel.

Surely

Also, not to necessarily imply anything, but it's not unheard of for a campaign manager to be a highest bidder type whore, too.

Jim Burdge kind of reminds me of the type who would do anything.

Maybe because Bartlett could care less about making Tulsa more sustainable while Adelson and Perkins actually give a damn?

Anyone else get the feel that Adelson is just sitting back waiting to win?  I think it's the smart move.  If you have a pretty good lead, why stick your neck out at all?

Dewey has got the name but didnt we vote for a family name just a few years ago ?
My Wife has had some business dealings with Tom and she just loves him.
I have seen both of their ads(and who hasnt) And it just seems to me that Dewey was the first to start the he said she said mud slinging.
Tom has had way more ads than Dewey. And I was thinking that with all that exposure, maybe he might want to back some of it down a bit. Some people tend to take that as having a lot of money to burn and grow tired of the constant barrage from the have and have nots.
Dewey. Stick to what you want and can do for the city.
Tom....Buddy we know your running. Take a chill pill already.

Dewey has some very serious environmental skeletons of his own in the old closet from the oil business and it would be my guess that he knew by showing up there was the possibility of public exposure to his messes. These could still come to light. Not only his personal environmental issues but he has the dirty industry backing too no doubt. Plenty of time and plenty of baggage before November. His campaign is dirty in more ways than one.

[Conan71]

Perkins all but called Bartlett a political "chicken" in the paper this morning, heavily criticizing Dewey avoiding any debates and many of the forums on the issues.  I'm honestly thinking Dewey doesn't know or care what the issues are.  I've never seen a more apathetic campaign in my life.

[Wrinkle]

I'm noticing a shift already from Dewey to Perkins by Dewey clan.

My only thought is Perkins support must weigh more heavily on Adelson, thus boosting Dewey. At least as a strategy. It's clear Perkins is a Chamber tool in this race to provide options on strategy. Of course, his grooming has begun, too.

Perkins lost my vote this morning on PC's show. So, it's the other indy now, whatever his name is.

Still thinking "None of the Above" would be a good choice.

Perkins/Chamber? His motto is just say no to the status quo.  Me agree with the Perkins helps Dewey theory.
Gawd help us.

How is Perkins a Chamber Tool?

You stuttering prick!

This campaign is just about as bad as watching the spiraling descent of McCain Palin last year.

Designer platform, like the 2002 Governor's race with Independent Gary Richardson promoting "elimination of tolls". Sector specific attraction, designed to achieve a particular result (which it did in that case).
