Dear fellow tax hikers, the race for Hamilton County Commissioner has become even more crowded and confusing than it was before. A few days ago we talked about The Ghostbuster Sean Feeney. Now we're talking about Jim Tarbell.
Tarbell, you see, is so upset that Hamilton County citizens won't get to pay higher taxes for Cincinnati-owned Music Hall that he's decided to run as a write-in candidate. Four years ago Tarbell ran as the Democratic candidate, only to get crushed by our enemy Chris Monzel 56-44%.
This puts us in a quandary. We endorsed Taxin' Tarbell in his losing 2010 campaign. But a few days ago we endorsed The Ghostbuster for this race.
We need feedback from you, our loyal readers. Which of our endorsed candidates do we stand behind?
1) The streetcar supporter that wants to raise taxes for Music Hall who is on the ballot?
or
2) The streetcar supporter that wants to raise taxes for Music Hall who isn't on the ballot?
Or do we endorse both of these pro-streetcar tax hikers? Write us with your thoughts.

I really think we should encourage all of our supporters to vote for both of these fine gentleman. Why make the difficult choice when we don't have to!
The fact that there are TWO candidates running who support higher taxes and just ONE candidate who does not support higher taxes is yet another indication that the Republican Party needs to change its message to be more welcoming of gays and minorities, and to soften our incredibly harsh rhetoric on abortion and gun control. It also means Republicans need to start championing higher taxes for everyone. How else can we ever hope to be a majority party again if we don't copy what our opponents are doing?
How dare that Tarbell try to use his name and muscle some first-time candidate out of the way!
Hmm, what to do, what to do….Feeney’s no meanie and Tarbell’s so swell. Not enough taxes and so many choices.

As a former Democratic Party activist currently working for the Republican Party, I keep doing my best to keep things all screwed up down at Club 700. But my friends in the Democratic Party keep doing me one better.
Tarbell has the best hair of anyone running in this race and he has impeccable fashion sense. Best of all, he isn't a smelly west Sider.
Yes, what a great idea! Write in Tarbell AND vote Feeney. Vote against me twice. It might be the only way I can win this thing.
The election is next year, right?
how come I haven't been hired to run any of these campaigns?
I get the shakes just thinking about how both Sean Feeney and Jim Tarbell have the chance to raise taxes on everyone if they are elected, and I can't raise anyone's taxes anymore. Raising taxes was the best part of my political career.
