Apology to The Whistleblower

When we are wrong we will admit it. We wish to formally apologize to The Whistleblower for accusing him and his source of making a false claim against the Blue Ash Republican Club. The club had their meeting tonight, and we are sad to confirm that they indeed held a one-sided debate and did not give the anti-safety extremists a chance to embarrass themselves with one of their foolish presentations. The Whistleblower's scoop turned out to be correct.

The incompetence of this campaign is embarrassing. The anti-safety coalition could not debate their way out of a paper bag. The best thing to do is let them speak and turn off everyone in the room. Instead, by denying them a chance to air their views along with Leis, we've just given them a great excuse to run back to The Whistleblower and whine about not allowing their message to be heard. They'll win more votes making themselves victims than they will by presenting their case in competition with our Sheriff.

The campaign is struggling right now because of stupid decisions like this. The anti-safety coalition doesn't have to do anything right because the missteps of Simon Leis and others are doing the job for them. Our campaign to raise the Sales Tax needs a new direction if it is to succeed. The first thing to do is get Leis under control.
