In reference to the RedState.com piece that Phil Heimlich put out last week, the Dean of Cincinnati asks "why in the world would anyone back the unemployed Phil Heimlich?" After all, the Dean points out "that Phil Heimlich actually did lose to a Democrat, giving control of Hamilton County to Democrats for the first time in decades".I'm going to attempt to predict what Team Heimlich's response would be... You see, Dean, Phil lost in Hamilton County, which is represented by both Schmidt and Chabot. Phil, supposedly (and I say that because no one has ever shown me any numbers to back this up and I'm too lazy to check 'em out at Jenny Brunner's place), did fairly well in the areas of Hamilton County that is represented by Schmidt. If that is true, I'd say that says more about the dire danger that Steve Chabot is in rather than Schmidt, but I leave that up to the reader's interpretation...
UPDATE: Looks like NixGuy caught this too...
UPDATE 2: The Dean has a letter for Phil Heimlich today that is well worth a read... Here is a taste:
In a recent campaign email, you characterized yourself as a good steward of tax dollars, and you said you transformed Hamilton County government. I recently asked Commissioners Todd Portune and David Pepper about your “transformations,” and they said you were to blame for the County being tagged by Moody’s for a potential bond rating downgrade.Will Team Heimlich respond?
