Tulsa DA

The race seems to lack much excitement, which is a clear indicator that an incumbent might get re-elected. However that does not mean there is little interest; in fact voters are very interested in the race because the issue of crime is so big. I think the election will take an interesting turn very soon with the momentum continuing to go towards Swab rather than Harris. I have been told that Swab will start television very soon; no mention yet so far about Harris ads. In a low profile race like DA getting your name out is big because even the DA is not a household name. Judging by the signs up in actual yards I would say support is pretty even. However, not many signs can be found as of yet. One thing that will give the Swab campaign an advantage is the are working harder when it comes to door to door campaign.

This a chart provided by the FBI and DOJ on crime stats:

However I found one of the most desperate campaign moves ever arrives in my mail box; the media seems to be giving Harris to much bad press( i.e. 1st Assistant Drummond says, "They [the FOP] are just doing this to make us angry!" and, "Bring it on!") so he goes out and buys a story in the Value News ...LAME! It should be a clear sign that your campaign sucks when you buy a story in a rag. Also The Tulsa World will endorse Swab, join law enforcement in that move, this time you can spin it and say it's a liberal conspiracy. On Swab's website it list 24 former DA's that now support Swab, and they worked for Harris before, so I think that is a pretty strong message. Watch for this race to heat up even more!

Here is a chart that shows the facts on the numbers:

The conviction rate boasted by Harris is constantly changing: 86% in response to the FOP, in the value news 88% conviction rate and on channel 6 90%. See the KOTV story .

A debate is set for July 21 @ Radisson Hotel- 41st & 169 11:30am.
