The Day Before Election, Kunkle Makes a Last-Minute Appeal to a Very Specific Audience

• Oh, he definitely has strings.  You're just not looking for them. String:  Sarah Dodd String:  Laura Miller String:  Avi Adelman String:  Bars on Greenville String:  Alcohol Distributors, and Kroger (the wet-dry vote)--Sarah Dodd was PR for Kroger, et.al for that election

• Scott, this run-off will definitely have very low numbers.  It may be less than 50,000.

• When you hang left as much as you do, Robert, you should expect to get snail mail spammed. If only you voted on the issues...you'd never have such a yearbook to upkeep from these guys.

• I think you might see a larger turn out this time.  I think many anticipated this run off would come; at least that's how I rationalized missing the last round

• Ok maybe a bit too harsh. Point trying to make is kunkle knows Dallas and vice versa...

• Yes. Absolutely.

• I hate to sound like an ignorant citizen....but here goes.  If someone (clearly not me, a friend) didn't vote in the regular election, can they vote in the run-off?

• BORN in West Texas, raised up north

• Rawlings isn't a Yankee, he is from West Texas. 

• Dude, I'm a Yankee and I'm voting for Kunkle.  I met the guy the other day actually, and he sold me.  He lives in the neighborhood, and has a lot of similiar interests as I do.  He believes in investing in the neighborhoods and communities in town, so he pushed all the right buttons for me.   Plus he's cyclist and owns a Vespa so that seals it for me.

• And everyone knows it, yet he denies getting any money at all from the CC.  Completely dishonest.

• A regular -- which is to say, nothing-but -- listener to the Ticket.

• OK, I'm stupid.  What is a P1?

• Kunkle knows the REAL Dallasite!  Rawlings couldn't possibly!

• I decided my vote was going to Kunkle after we got our fourth slick and shiny Rawling flyer in the US post.  

• Depends on the ad time rate. Dunno what that station charges (or what K-ticket charges) but I bet a reasonable price could be agreed upon.

• Right, but the deep pockets don't give money to a candidate unless they are sure he/she can be bought. Rawlings's well-financed campaign comes with a quid pro quo. Rawlings may be a great guy and all, and maybe he will be much better than Leppert if he's elected. But he's still the Citizens Council candidate.

• Go Kunkle. No Yankees allowed. We know him, he's one of us.

• Kunkle woulda crushed Pizza Boy is he spent more money.

• It's really important that the right people get out and vote for Kunkle. Progress vs. Pizza. Vote for Kunkle. He has no strings attached.

• i mean 'hear' it.  sorry.  maybe I didn't understand the question.

• but no one would here it.....

• Heard it this morning. Probably will get a few voters moving ... Sorta surprised they didn't run a version of it on the station where Greggo now broadcasts (delete P1 references, of course).
