"Bartlett leads Medlock in every demographic category, including self-identified conservatives"

It is OK Medlock, now you tell Michael Bates that he is probably not going to be the next city manager. Smedlock, you and Michael can still be friends though...as long as you can keep paying him to be your friend! I'm sorry the taxpayers can't and won't pay the bill for you! Please try to be strong and gracious during the concession speech. I know how difficult it must be for you! Wear some kind of light colored makeup

Tony G, Tulsa (9/6/2009 6:16:09 AM)

I'll vote for Tom Adelson.

OK Critic, (9/6/2009 6:25:03 AM)

With all the news of tragedy this morning it was at least some small comfort that Anna Falling has only 7% support. It encourages me to think that not many Tulsans have completely lost their minds.

Observer3, (9/6/2009 7:13:59 AM)

Bartlett is a Democrat in Republican clothing. No way can a true Republican vote for this man who has been and continues to be a supporter and cheerleader for Kathy Taylor. If he's elected, it will be business as usual at City Hall (excuse me, One Technology Center--thanks to Kathy Taylor). And if it ends up being between Bartlett and Adelson, I'll vote for Adelson--at least he says he's a Democrat and doesn't try to pass himself off as something other than that.

Observer3, (9/6/2009 7:16:00 AM)

And I would like to hear from the candidates if they plan on keeping Kathy Taylor's high-dollar, at-will employees.

This makes sense if you trust the Sooner Poll.

Fearless Projection:
Bartlett 44
Medlock 42
Falling(This season's's designated Medlock-Blocker) 12
Everybody else 2%
So 56% of the Republicans will choose somebody other than Bartlett. But because we don't have a runoff, Bartlett will prevail.
And by the Seven Rings of Raggador, I'll vote for the Democrat in the General Election. Republicans, take your party back.

Lady Recall, (9/6/2009 7:54:08 AM)

OK, it's the final stretch and every team needs a rally cheer! Here's one for Medlock (and his trusty sidekick Bates).

Bates and Medlock can't you see,
Each bully-loser wanna be,
Hopes for your vote election day,
To make their sad lives go away!

They love to trash both friend and foe,
Cause being mean is what they know!
What makes them sick, their only fear,
Will Tulsan's say, "Get out of here!"

So voter's let you voice be heard,
And finally flush these nasty turds!!!

Eagle 4, Tulsa (9/6/2009 7:59:28 AM)

Heading for another default election - by d' fault of a now-reactionary Party chasing ghosts of past glory, Adelson will receive my vote for Mayor.

Here's hoping he's not been bought out already, doesn't need a Round Table of Advisers and can outthink the Square Table of the Clowncil.

Nuff, (9/6/2009 8:11:48 AM)

Vote Medlock! We need change and he'll do it. He'll clean house on the 15th floor and get rid of the high paid aids. He will tell the truth about the cost of the One Technology Center.

Lady Recall, (9/6/2009 8:21:03 AM)

Anyone who calls Medlock a "conservative" has not done their homework. C'mon you so-called conservatives who support Medlock, don't be so lazy!!! We all now know he can't hold a job in the private sector, has stolen emails and lied about his MBA...but do you know the following:

Tulsa World
1/4/1994
“Medlock said he leaned toward pro-choice, although with
many reservations. “

Tulsa World
1/10/1993
The group, named the Mainstream Republicans of Tulsa County,
will try to give their party a fresh look on various issues.
Chris Medlock, chairman of Mainstream's executive commission,
said Saturday that the GOP needs to work together to solve problems.
"We have to get the Republican group that voted Democrat
back into the Republican Party," Medlock said. "The Republicans
have to come back and move toward the center. We have to
do what the Democrats did."

"We've had a bulk of Republicans who are pro-choice,"
Medlock said, "but we (Mainstream) take no stand on it.”

“We have had people leave the group because we wouldn't
take a stand on the issue. We may be naive, but we understand
the political process.”

MEDLOCK IS NOT WHO YOU THINK HE IS...AND HE SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED TO LEAD THIS CITY.

my view, Sand Springs (9/6/2009 9:00:37 AM)

I'm not voting but I've said it before and I'll say it again state Senator Tom Adelson is a empty suit.

Chris Medlock is a joke.

If I had a vote it would be for Bartlett, he's proven that he's not afraid to work with both sides of any issue.

Rupert Shootman, Tulsa (9/6/2009 9:05:25 AM)

This is a Tulsa World poll! They always underestimate the conservative vote. The poll was done last week before the city learned that Bartlett wanted to make the Broken Arrow Expressway a toll road. You watch, this will be a lot closer than this poll says.

rememberme?, (9/6/2009 9:40:36 AM)

If this poll is true then Tulsa has already lost.

4 real, (9/6/2009 9:43:15 AM)

Medlock has three votes in my household. Bartlett is old money and backed Mayor Kathy Taylor. We don't need a wolf in sheeps clothing. The old bait and switch. Is this how the democrates will take total control? Pretend your a republican and pull a Spector the defector.

Observer3, (9/6/2009 10:14:45 AM)

My View: Whether you meant to or not, I think you just called Mr. Bartlett two-faced. If the shoe fits........

Lady Recall, (9/6/2009 10:39:01 AM)

MEDLOCK FAILS FISCAL CONSERVATIVE TEST

Any fiscal conservative knows you have to look beyond a politicians words, and instead look at their actions. So how did Medlock do on the fiscal conservative "test"...he failed! He may talk a good game, but while on the City Council when he actually had a chance to provide leadership and prove his mettle...Medlock totally caved. In fact, when you read his quotes below, you can tell he is a mealy-mouthed wannabe without any real backbone. I often wonder if he hates any Republican with wealth simply because he doesn't have the skils to actually create any wealth for himself. Medlock acts like a jealous, wealth-envy Democrat...not a strong, conservative leader. Maybe that's why his closest allies on the City Council were Jim "The Incomprehensible" Mautino, Jack "I see a racist" Henderson, and Roscoe "Say what?" Turner...with Medlcok, they were the Four Bumbeleers"
Tulsa World
8/21/2003

During a debate last week, Medlock was asked where he stood on Vision 2025.

He responded: "I guess I'm here to represent how to straddle a fence without getting hurt."

The comment came shortly after he and the other eight city councilors had approved a resolution supporting all four parts of the package and encouraging voters to pass it in its entirety.

"I thought that it was much more important to give that unanimity," he said of his vote on the resolution of support.

Voters on Sept. 9 will consider a 1-cent county sales tax to support the Vision 2025 proposals. The four-part ballot includes $350 million in incentives to lure a Boeing assembly plant to Tulsa; $22.3 million to fund capital improvements for American Airlines'

Tulsa maintenance facility; $350.3 million for education, health care and events facilities; and $157.4 million for a host of capital improvement and community enrichment projects.
Medlock said he fully supports Proposition 2 on American Airlines and Proposition 4, covering the capital improvements and community enrichment projects.

He said he had reservations about Proposition 3, which includes convention center renovations and a new arena, and on Proposition 1, which is the Boeing incentives.

Then he said he was "inclined to support Package 3 with a couple of more things to work on . . . oh, hell, I'm backing 3."

my view, Sand Springs (9/6/2009 10:45:26 AM)

Observer3,

I meant and you know it, that he would be bipartisan.

Also if you look at the candidates choices you have sometimes you have to pick between two evils. Or just stay home and not be part of the process.

As I said I don't have a dog in this fight just an opinion. The only thing I use Tulsa for is getting from A to B if I'm going east.

Rupert Shootman, Tulsa (9/6/2009 11:20:29 AM)

There goes Dewey's lap dog David Arenetts of Tulsa Toady. com, cross dressing as Lady Recall again. David, why don't you tell the truth. You're being paid to write that garbage.

nativedaughter, (9/6/2009 11:48:50 AM)

Well,it looks like for once those who had planned these elections got it right: a run off would have been a waste of money and time given that both parties appear to be on the verge of nominating someone who will receive over 50% of the vote.

OPEN YOUR EYES TULSA, Tulsa (9/6/2009 1:35:16 PM)

Dewey Bartlett = Kathy Taylor.

Vote for Medlock this Tuesday. See all of his views on the issues on medlockformayor. com

OPEN YOUR EYES TULSA, Tulsa (9/6/2009 1:43:45 PM)

Thanks Rupert. I almost forgot that Bartlett wanted to make the BA Expressway a toll road. I drive to work every day on the BA Expressway and do not want to pay a toll to drive to work.

nativedaughter, (9/6/2009 1:44:21 PM)

Medlock = gridlock, deadlock, Tulsa stopped. He thinks he can run down everyone else and then expects to step into the Mayors office and do it all by himself. Like it or not, if you can't play nice with other, you'll be alone.

irwindale, Tulsa (9/6/2009 1:50:01 PM)

Poor Tulsa! Failures at city hall and all it can do is produce a mirror of itself.
Midtown money gone wild!

Centrist, Owasso (9/6/2009 3:23:48 PM)

This is no surprise, follow the money....The two biggest names in Tulsa with the most monetary support.

Lana, (9/6/2009 4:03:12 PM)

This was the same polling outfit that said the river tax would pass by a wide margin and that Obama would win Tulsa county.

BWAHAHAHA
