Ghiz has some 'splainin to do next year when she goes for the Republican endorsement. Someone needs to grab that old RINO by the horn.

You might vote for the opposition Leslie, but when it comes to endorsin' that's a whole 'nother story.

Anon 10:15, this time next year, the Republican Party will be no more. 700 Walnut will be empty after it is closed down, padlocked, and fumigated. Crooked party officials will be in jail.

There will be no Republican Party to endorse or unendorse her.

If Monzel were smart, he would endorse Pepper, too.

He's probably clean enough to stay out of jail, and no one is accusing the city of doing anything crooked.

Unofruntately, his blind loyalty to the soon-to-be-extinct Republican Party will cost him his job.

Cincinnati City Council of which David Pepper and John Cranley were members is the reason our City is SO screwed up, not the Commissioners or the Congress. Now these two clowns want to blame others for the mess they made while on council and The Enquirer endores them?? The Enquirer is the new Washington Post and NY Times of Cincinnati!! I guess in 08 Hilliary will have your endorsement as well.
