TULSA, Ok. - AM 740 and FM 102.3 News/Talk KRMG's Steve Berg reports Tom Adelson had a sense of humor about his defeat last night. When we asked him why he thought he lost, he said, "I think more people voted for him than voted for me". But kidding aside, he said the race became more polarized than anyone was expecting and might have hurt his chances. But he said the voters have spoken and he respects their wishes. He says, "I did the best I could and I ran the best race I could and I respect the citizens of Tulsa for their vote tonight and I look forward to being part of a better Tulsa. These are tough times and I want our next mayor, I want Mayor Bartlett to succeed." Adelson says he doesn't know if he might try again for the Mayor's job someday. Adelson still has 3 years left on his term in the State Senate and he still has his part-time teaching job at Washington High School. He joked he's going to give the kids a tough pop quiz to make up for the election loss.
