Ed Rothenburg to Conquer Internet, County

CINCINNATI - Campaign headquarters for Hamilton County Commissioner candidate Ed Rothenburg are abuzz this week as Rothenburg looks forward to March 4th - his first win after about 200 unsuccessful campaigns, including losing runs for city council, state representative, key grip, senator, dogcatcher and real estate agent of the year.

Never mind that it's just an unopposed primary "win",  and the Republican Party still won't endorse Rothenburg, and the campaign headquarters only consists of him and his wife Rita alone at home - there was definitely excitement in the air.

"Yeah, I am the champion," says Rothenburg, "Who cares that it's just a primary.  I feel like somebody, I feel like declaring my endorsement for President."

And to further mark his historic win, Rothenburg plans on starting 3 more spam blogs to add to his collection.

Rothenburg has already teamed up with local spam blogger Vintage Corvettes, and together they have started 4 spam blogs, "Ed Rothenburg",  "Ed Rothenburg, Candidate for Hamilton County Commissioner",   "Ed Rothenburg Candidate", and "Ed Rothenburg 2008".

"All you have to do is start enough of these websites they call blogs," says Rothenberg, "You can look forward to my 3 new blogs coming soon, 'Ed Rothenburg for Commissioner' , 'Ed Rothenburg - Commissioner Candidate', and 'Vote Rothenburg for Commissioner'."

"Once I take over the internet, I can easily crush Todd Portune in November."
