Most astute observation in this thread as of late. This is no longer about positions or posturing, its about turnout. Solid, above-average turnout, and Cornett wins re-election comfortably IMHO. Light turnout, implying a great deal of apathy, bodes the opposite. There is a non-trivial number out there who support Shadid...."just cuz," and those "populist" talking points he repeatedly hits is one of the reasons why Kevin's comment is on the money.

Go vote. Tell your OKC neighbors to vote. Tell your OKC friends to go vote - do not take this particular mayoral election as just another fait accompli, or we seriously risk putting the city in the hands of a guy who has absolutely no business anywhere near the office.
