Is the winner of American Idol a Republican? I watched about 60 minutes of that show all year, but it seems he was certainly the more conservative of the two finalists. The other finalist was very good and maybe more talented, but America voted for the more traditional person. On talent alone, I probably would've voted for the 2nd place finisher. Adam Lambert was very good. But, the winner, Kris Allen, was certainly more traditional and conservative in his approach.And...
In all the stories in yesterday's news about the serious budget shortfall that has city officials "stunned," did you see a single mention of our Mayor? Where is he? I think Vegas.

This weekend kicks off the traditional summer campaign season of festivals, parades, and other such campaigning. It's a great time of year.

We had a conference call with our Judicial Nominating Committee last night. It is not too soon to think about 2010. With Judge Painter resigning, there will be a Democrat on the First District Court of Appeals that we will have to knock-off. We already have great candidates thinking about that race. It should be interesting.

I had lunch with a great Republican yesterday, Mark Quarry. Mark is a member of the Silverton city council where he brings common sense Republican values to the job and he is serving the citizens very well.

The Redlegs play a business day special today at 12:35 p.m.. Do they have Wi-Fi at the ballpark?

As promised, our party will support and endorse candidates for the Cincinnati Public Schools Board of Education. The Board has been dominated by people who get elected with the support and money of the teacher's unions. We need to break this cycle to help the kids of the Cincinnati Public Schools. We'll fight hard to put a few new board members there.

With Commissioner Pepper running for State Auditor, our chances of winning that seat on the County Commission in 2010 should improve. Who should be our candidate? Don't be shy. You know how to contact us.

Speaking of Commissioner Pepper....the voters of Hamilton County ought to ask one question: Is Hamilton County better off now than it was when Pepper was elected and the Democrats took control of the Commissioner's office? The answer is simply "no." We have 800 fewer jail beds, fewer Sheriff's patrols, and a public safety crisis with no plan for how to deal with it. That's not leadership worthy of a promotion. Mary Taylor is the first CPA to hold the office of
Auditor of State and she is supremely qualified to hold the position. She deserves re-election.
And...
Have a great Thursday.
