Since becoming your party chairman, I have received significant feedback about the "deal" made with the Democrats on the County Commission race. I have heard the message from our party loud and clear.
However, a deal is a deal.
I believe what is happening in the Hamilton County Democratic Party is dishonorable and inappropriate. Let me be clear: Tim Burke is an honorable person and a good man. It's unfortunate that his party is acting dishonorably and undermining his leadership. If they have a problem with his leadership, there are other alternatives. To undercut Mr. Burke and force him to break this commitment is wrong.
Am I surprised? Not one bit. After all, they're Democrats.
What will our party do if they endorse a candidate despite their commitment not to? I expect we'll look at an endorsement process as well. I would NEVER leave us at a disadvantage.
We need to stand united.

If the deal falls through, would the GOP be stuck with Rothenberg or could he step aside for a more qualified candidate?
Welcome to leadership, Alex! I can fully understand the frustrations of the rank and file on this and how they might feel like they were 'sold' out. However, the reality of it always has more at stake than what people realize. In Butler County, we have a candidate for our Auditor's seat who is accused of 'seat swapping' when in reality, his swapping saved our party from a bitter and costly war, a price that is sometimes too costly. Hang in there and keep trying to get them to see the big picture.
Sorry Judge Wingnut, but The Little People are fed up and we are overthrowing the monarchy that you and Timmy have ruled over.
Please run nutso Coaster Rothenberg. Please, please, please!!!!!
