Whats jacked up, is that he managed to garner 75k votes and only lost by 4 or 5k.

I agree. However, look at what just happened a couple years ago in Okla County.

The Sheriff retired just prior to an indictment for corruption. He retained his retirement bennies.

There was a special election, in which the voters elected the right hand man of the corrupt Sheriff.

Now, P.D. Taylor wants to be re-elected. Does anyone really believe the Undersheriff didn't know what was going on with his boss?
Taylor at least knew it, at most participated.

Yet, Oklahoma County voters seem to approve, or at least not care.

I absolutely believe Coward County voters are just that stupid.

It's all about name recognition. People don't pay attention to the news. they just remember names not content.

+1000%. Most voters are ignorant of the issues and vote for party.

Well... Its re-election time... Now's the time you can get out and get behind your "man" for Oklahoma County Sheriff...

I don't know who you think my 'man' is, but I don't live in Okla County. Or vote there.

All I'm doing is shaking my head in disbelief/amusement.
