Enough of the negative ads. Don't tell us how bad your opponent is. Tell us what positive things you have done, what you believe in and what you are going to do to improve the city of Tulsa. Negative ads only display the negativeness of your personalities and it is ver unattractive and doesn't give Tulsans hope. Shame on both of you.

All three are eager to speak at clubs most people don't belong to. How about all three of them, actually sitting down and outlining what they intend to do for the Tulsa if elected. Put it in black and white. Then submit it to the TW to print for them.

I wonder how old that picture of Bartlett is.

TW has to help Bartlett out all they can. He is their fair haired boy.

I think that we should schedule a 3-way death match at the next wrestling event to determine the next mayor. I wouldn't vote for either of the two major candidates just for the simple fact that neither respects the rights of the other.

Pick Perkins, to heck with the bickering brothers...

Has Tommy always had grey hair?

Nudus, (10/8/2009 3:41:45 PM)

This is one of the few times that I hope the independent candidate wins. I cannot stand either the Democrat or Republican. If this is the best those parties have to offer then they should both get beat.

Thunder196, Tulsa (10/8/2009 4:00:08 PM)

I don't trust Adelson, and I don't trust Bartlett. Don't know enough about Perkins not to trust him.

SHARPSHOOTER, (10/8/2009 4:01:25 PM)

With what I've seen so far in this campaign, neither major candidate is fit to lead a parade, let alone our city. If they can't conduct theirselves during the campaign and get along, how in God's name will they work with the city council??

Urban Crab, Tulsa (10/8/2009 4:02:32 PM)

Don't any (male) candidates wear neckties anymore? What is this, a contest to be the most laid back lookin' guy?

Sharp intellect, sharp wit, sharp dresser. That's not a bad combination.

Bullhead: Believe it or not, that's a current photo of Bartlett.

BettyRubble918: Don't let the fact that Adelson has hair disguise the fact that he is a snake.

getreal: It's "nyuk, nyuk, nyuk" to be exact.

SHARPSHOOTER, (10/8/2009 4:03:24 PM)

VOTE INDEPENDANT AND STOP DIRTY CAMPAIGN TACTICS!!

I agree. But instead of submitting to the TW, how about the three of them speaking/debating where most of Tulsa and other interested people can hear them.

Skits Milloy, Tulsa (10/8/2009 4:09:26 PM)

I'm glad their appearances are at noon on a work day. That way there is no way that I'll be able to go. Why do they have these in the middle of the day? I see Bartell's thing is a luncheon so that makes sense. Maybe someone can answer that for me. I honestly think it would make more sense to have the speeches at night when more people could attend.

Skits Milloy, Tulsa (10/8/2009 4:10:22 PM)

Haha. I meant Bartlett. Oops

WhoseLeft, Tulsa (10/8/2009 5:03:08 PM)

I agree with Thunder and Okierose. Let's have them debate in a PUBLIC forum.

Fred, Tulsa (10/8/2009 5:05:29 PM)

Thunder,
If Bartlett is the TW's fair haired child, they sure didn't do him any favors by debunking his latest put down of Adelson. I am afraid that if Adelson wins this race he would leave the State Senate and He has been a very good legislator. He makes sure that all of his people are represented with level-headed and well thought out moves. he works well with republicans and democrats but most of all he reads the bills and sees the problems that some of these bills would create.
Bartlett is a good businessman and I just wish he would stay that way too. I know both of these men and I think they are fine people.
I think that Mark Perkins will get my vote because I am as sick as all of you are with all of this silly negative adds. We have seen about 1/2 of a million dollars worth of these silly adds hitting the screen again and again. Take that money and send it to the Day Center for the Homeless or to Meals on Wheels.
If these two are trying to show me how they know how to spend money wisely, they flunked.

OPEN YOUR EYES TULSA, Tulsa (10/8/2009 5:12:21 PM)

I like that TW is putting a picture of Perkins on the articles now. He is going to take votes from both parties while they bring each other down.

ajohnb, Jenks (10/8/2009 6:53:39 PM)

Good thing they are giving people warning of where they will be so that people don't get mud slung on them accidentely!

FUTURE WORLD, Tulsa (10/8/2009 6:54:59 PM)

Wouldn't it send a loud message if no one showed up?

Nuff, (10/8/2009 8:49:45 PM)

Bartlett and Adelson had a question / answer session on KFAQ 1170 AM Radio a few weeks ago. They were allowed to ask each other questions and had 90 seconds to answer, then each were allowed a response, and then a rebuttle. It was at 8:00 AM in the morning and I listened to it at work on my radio.

The debate was close but I thought Adelson was the winner.

Both, agreed to return for another debate, if Pat Cambpell invited Mark Perkins to join them on his show. The Pat Campbell Show.

Google the station for details on when the next debate will be. It was fair, impartial, and allowed both candidates to be heard. Bartlett didn't fair well when asked if he planned to step down from Keener Oil if he were elected and if he would take a salary from Keener while being Mayor. He didn't answer either question.

I do like that Mark Perkins will pull votes from Bartlett. I'm open to Perkins but right now, I'm leaning towards Adelson.

Thunder196, Tulsa (10/9/2009 12:16:58 AM)

Fred
I just meant that is who they endorsed for mayor. I know they had one editorial, I don't remember if there was more then that.

xx123, (10/9/2009 12:34:58 AM)

I'm voting for Adelson. I do not trust part-time wannabe mayor Bartlett and I do not know enough about Perkins.

Centrist, the burbs (10/9/2009 3:28:10 AM)

I never heard why Adelson is taking a career move down from Senator to Mayor?

Channel 6 usually holds a debate with the candidates but I haven't had time to keep up with the news. Has anyone else heard?
