Since Kathy Taylor's announcement that she would not seek a second term as Tulsa's Mayor, the local Talk Radio stations have been running online polls, asking the question

"Who Would You Like to See as Tulsa's Next Mayor"

On KRMG, the Polling results show Chris Medlock out front, with 23% and several other names showing strongly, including Newcomer Clay Clark in 2nd with 14%, former Mayor Bill LaFortune with 14%, and City Counll Councilor Bill Christiansen with 12%.

On KFAQ, the Poll has Medlock leading, as well, with 38%, and Clay Clark in 2nd again, with 28%. Christiansen has 11%, and noone else has more than 5%.

Considering the major advantage in name recognition that all of the other candidates have, this is a really good starting point! With these kinds of numbers this early, Clay has to be considered a serious contender, and the "powers that be" have to be getting nervous!!
