As we not-so-boldly predicted, incumbent OKC mayor David Holt – with the support and backing of his Who's-Who List of OKC Champions – ran away with yesterday's mayoral election, winning in a landslide with 59% of the votes. That means Oklahoma City is going to have four more years of social media selfies, Thunder tweets, and the general dodging of uncomfortable issues from the mayor's office.
The election never really felt close, but after the King's of Leon drummer endorsed Mayor McSelfie on Twitter, it was all but in the bag:
You can like a person without being in the same political party. I personally am a fan of @davidfholt and he’s a great dude. Haters hate on.
