February 2nd 2012 Archie Wilson resigns creating a vacancy to be filled by the Clermont County Republican Central Committee.
February 23rd 2012 Stuart Kennedy, Central Committee member from Union Township O and the Treasurer of the Clermont Liberty PAC, sent an email:
"I wanted to make sure you knew you are invited to attend an event the Clermont Liberty PAC is hosting next Tuesday, February 28 at 7:00PM at the Holiday Inn Eastgate. The event will be featuring Jack Kuntz who is one of the candidates interested in the appointment to the open County Commissioner position... By attending, no one is asking you to vote for Jack or for us to assemble any block votes... Some have suggested the Clermont Liberty PAC should instead host an event with all 11 (currently known)candidates. Such a large meeting would be difficult to facilitate due to the volume of candidates. Assuming 15-20 minutes of introduction per candidate, the meeting would take well over three hours, and this assumes no open time for questions... The Clermont Liberty PAC has chosen to provide this opportunity for committee members to learn about Jack Kuntz."
Remember they are NOT trying to create a voting block...
February 28th 2012 Liberty PAC Hosts Candidate Night for One.
Remember they are NOT trying to create a voting block...
March 10th 2012 Eric Kelso, Central Committeeman for Monroe Township Precinct F hosted a "Candidate Meet and Greet" which 8 of the final 10 candidates chose to participate, and 30 Central Committeemen attended. It was hosted for all candidates with very little trouble and at a cost of less than $5.
But don't forget the Liberty PAC:
"Such a large meeting would be difficult to facilitate due to the volume of candidates."
Hmm... one person organized an event that a PAC could not do, with introductions, and time for questions a far cheaper cost of less than $5 since the Union Township Community Center had use of a free room. 5 Tea Party members were in attendance and asked the same 5 questions of each candidate and then after conferring in the hall came back and asked more questions. It was later reported to me that these same 5 where seen later in the parking lot arguing.
Remember they are NOT trying to create a voting block...
March 13th 2012 Dave Uible announces his candidacy for the appointment. If the name sounds familiar its because he ran, and lost, against incumbent Barb Wiedenbein in the March 6th primary as a Liberty PAC endorsed candidate.
But wait, why would their be two Tea Party candidates running? Something is up.
March 14th 2012 7PM at the meeting, remember they are NOT trying to create a voting block. Jack Kuntz stands up to give his 3 minute speech, but wait this one is completely different from all the others.
"I had the support of two groups when I started, but in an 11th hour switch I found I no longer have their support, and that they are now supporting Dave Uible."
With that he stepped out of the race and asked anyone still supporting him to vote for Dave Uible.
Hmm... two groups? Could that be the Tea Party and the Liberty PAC?
Votes came in:
Round 1 Uible 62 Votes next closest was 21 votes.
Round 2 Uible 70 Votes
Round 3 Uible wins.
Remember they were NOT trying to create a voting block...
A voting block they did create, as evident not only by the vote totals, but you could look over and see (Union Township in particularly) a solid group hooting and hollering above the customary clapping.
We can NOT have parties within parties!
