Please explain WHY

Knowing the Forum: ABSOLUTELY NO write-ins for "Norman", Muskogee", or "Just kill me". Wink

OKC. If I'm going to have to live in Oklahoma I might as well live in the capital city.

So if you were to move to PA you'd choose Harrisburg over Philly or the Burgh? Tongue

Or Dover over Willmington? Olympia over Seattle? Sacrmento over...anyplace but Bakersfield or Fresno? Bismark over Fargo...oh wait Wink. The list goes on and on.

I voted for Tulsa, because Tulsa reminds me of Tubes, and Tubes reminds me of Tübingen, and Tübingen has a big marble statue that I want to crawl into and get trapped inside so that twenty-two big, strapping, young, topless, gay firemen show up and rescue me.  

Oklahoma City reminds me of Alabaster Jones, and of Leanne, the alcoholic mother of Peggy Hill's neice, Luanne Platter Kleinshmidt.  I just can't think of OKC without thinking of Alabaster and of Leanne.  I probably watch too much TV.

As someone who has been to both "cities" I would pick Tulsa, hands down.

No. This is an Oklahoma thing. It's a tie between Tulsa and OKC so that was the tie breaker. I would take Seattle over Olympia.

Well, there's that too.  I admit to having visited both.  Tulsa struck me as more liveable and pleasant.

Tulsa is far better than OKC.

Less conservative? Maybe, but OKC is definitely more inelastically Republican. OKC hasn't had a Democratic Mayor in nearly 30 years, Tulsa had a Democratic mayor 8 years ago in Kathy Taylor (she lost her attempt to re-gain her spot last year by 10 points though).

That, and Oklahoma City is dog ugly sprawl.  Tulsa actually looks like a city.

I'm sure both have at least a few decent neighborhoods, which is far more important than the overall city. My hometown is mostly ghetto wasteland, but it makes no difference to me because I make my home in the 38120, with the college educated white people.

I can't really vote either way.  On one hand, I think Oklahoma City is better, but then I left the OKC job market for the Tulsa job market.  So, either vote I cast would be legitimately questionable.

Well, glad you have your priorities straight.

But your a liberal and a Democrat, so it's okay for you to feel that way. Amarite?

One (Tulsa?) hasn't? For reals? Shocked I would've guessed back in the Dixiecrat days they still backed FDR or Truman (whose second-best state against Dewey was OK!).

LBJ appears to have lost Tulsa County in 64, so presumably you're not referring to OKC.
