Tulsa District Attorney Race Hits TV

Finally with less than two weeks remaining both side have spots up on television. Since both of these campaigns are under funded, I don't see the ads ever being placed online because little benefit would be gained.


The Swab starts out and says TULSA'S HOMICIDE RATE IS TWICE THAT OF NEW YORK'S RATE. That sets the mood for the ad. Then it shows a series of newspaper articles and talk about how the staff and funding of the DA's office has increased but the number of cases filed has dropped dramatically. It says that the too many cases are dismissed. (This has been the sediments of many former state prosecutors and current federal prosecutors.) Then it says the zinger Tim Harris is not getting his job done. (Which most in law enforcement agree unless they are under the payroll of Tim Harris.) Then the ad goes an tell about what a swell guy Brett Swab is, and he is.


The Tim Harris ads continue the his PR image. His false bravado quickly shows through on his ads recycled from 1998. (Back when our crime rate was much lower.) He only changes the audio and the words but he still looks eight years younger.(Read the previous post about Harris distorting the figures.) He talks about a the success of a juvenile crime task force he set up, yet does anyone remember the Serial Rapist, hmm... is that success?
