Despite the push by a few radicals, the Hamilton County Democratic Party Central Committee voted overwhelmingly to support "the deal" entered into by Chairman Burke. Read the Enquirer story here.
I found it curious that Tom Luken, a longtime political figure in this community, lead this fight to undermine party leadership. Tom Luken has made more than a few deals to benefit his political career. In fact, he was instrumental in a deal in the early 1970s with the charterites to "trade" the mayorship of Cincinnati. It seems odd that Mr. Luken would be so adamant about this.
Let's put the issue of "the deal" behind us now. It's time for us to face off with the Democrats from the White House to the Courthouse.
I URGE YOU TO GET INVOLVED.

Mr. Triantafilou,
With all due respect, there is nothing "radical" about people standing up for the rights of Hamilton County citizens to have a choice in the county commissioner's race. Is the Hamilton County Republican Party now calling the right to franchise a "radical" idea. Ad hominem attacks against Mr. Luken don't serve the your argument. Even if Mr. Luken did make deals himself while serving on council, does it change the fact that your predecessor and Mr. Burke aimed to disenfranchise the voters of Hamilton County?
Of course Triantafilou approves this deal. His party reaps the main benefits. If the deal had more Dem seats running unopposed, we'd hear his right-winged extremist views spouting off against the whole thing.
Actually, we seem to get Mr. Triantafilous's extremist views anyway...
