NAACP candidate report card

The NAACP graded Cincinnati City Council members and doled out a whopping five F's, two D's, one C and one B. Find out who got what.

view report card

Christopher Smitherman urges members to review it before voting..

The NAACP Report card is a tool for tomorrow's election. I encourage you to read the report card closely prior to voting. If you would like you certainly can take the report card with you to the polls tomorrow instead of being handed information as you walk through the doors. We encourage you to share the report card with your family and friends and encourage them if they are not members to join the NAACP.

With just 2000 strategic votes the entire outcome of the City Council Election can change. Remember to power vote tomorrow, which means you do not have to vote for 9 people for council. Power voting allows all of the NAACP member ballots to make a stronger impact on the election.

As the President of the NAACP I can not endorse candidates but I can provide you with a report card. VOTE SMART and VOTE NO ON ISSUE 27.

I can see it now...

Smitherman first states "you do not have to vote for 9 people"...then when people don't vote for all the allowed votes he will be calling for recounts and claim disenfranchisement as the "machines" did not count all the votes for the candidates that he wanted to win claiming the undervotes represent that his votes weren't counted.

Finally remember as Puffy says, Vote or Die.

I thought Nate wrote that the Cincinnati Chapter NAACP is a 501(c)4: doesn't that allow them to endorse candidates?

Cincinnati may be a 501c4, which would them to engage in political activity (endorsing both issues and candidates as well as spending money to do the same), but if National is a 501c3, (which it may or may not be, I don't know), they may have a policy of not allowing their chapters to do that.

This is just speculation though, I am not sure.

Smitherman is a megalomaniac.(Chris, look it up) Just look at how he signs his letters - President.

I hope the local NAACP survives this clownshow.

Despite its name, I was always under the impression that the NAACP worked to fight for equality. Now, especially the chapter led by Smitherman,the NAACP is, as its name suggests, just trying to advance "colored people" by self-victimizing and asking for special treatment. A great disservice he is doing to the black community.

All of the candidates that egomaniac Smitherman opposed won. Why? Because nobody gives a freak what he thinks!

Looks like our boy Chris Sillyman went 0 for 9 yesterday! Guess this race pimp isn't a minor leaguer after all - he's more like a waterboy.

Sorry, Chris, but you stopped being relevant years ago. Guess you finally know the truth as well. Or to put it in a way even you might understand: "Ain't nobody buying what you're selling"!

NAACP has a very poor website. How did they rate the other council candidates?

Thanks for voting down Issue 27!

Hope to thank you in person later.

The anonymous loser who keeps claiming Mike Harlow (no one who knows him would call him that) is managing all these losing campaigns must the same moron who thought Harlow was instigating his ouster as Blue Chip RINO chairman.

This same person is almost universally considered to have been the biggest loser in Hamilton County on Election Day. He got fired in August from a winning campaign (turned around after he left) and managed a losing campaign for council.

In the meantime, he did such a piss-poor job of running the RINO club that even the slumbering board members noticed and ousted him. And how good is he making on those threats to ruin all of those board members, plus Harlow?
