So we're having our own little local "throw the bums out" tea party here in Tulsa, where every party is invited, because absolutely no incumbent is running uncontested.

Out of the nine councilors, some have chosen to just abandon ship rather than try to make sense of the craziness that has been Tulsa politics lately. The unpopular mayor is not up for re-election, but every single seat is up for re-election... and the reward for some winning is only a one-year term before they're put through this again :D

Stay tuned! Polls close in about 90 minutes!

As you can see, a few took themselves out by not running again. However, the red X's symbolize the voter sentiment tonite (all 10 percent of Tulsa voters, hehe). Four incumbents have been unceremoniously ousted... IN A PRIMARY.
