St. Charles snags 2010 state GOP event
Ehlmann
St. Charles County Republican leaders are crowing about the selection of their county seat - St. Charles - as host for the state GOP’s Lincoln Day event next year.
“It’s an indication of the importance of St. Charles County for Republicans,” County Executive Steve Ehlmann said Monday of the 2010 event, set for next February at the St. Charles Convention Center.
Ehlmann also is the current chairman of the Missouri Association of Republicans, the organization that each year puts on the statewide GOP gathering. Although the association works closely with the official state party apparatus, it’s a separate group.
Its only function is to put on Lincoln Day, a weekend-long event at which elected officials, candidates and party rank-and-file types meet, strategize, gossip and socialize - and throw a few barbs at the Democrats.
The event has been held since 1900 and usually rotates between St. Louis, Kansas City and Springfield.

First, Lincoln would never be a member of the present-day Republican Party.
Second, the GOP is going to party in Saint Charles? Gee, what ARE the odds. Saint Louis probably told them where to get off (Of the public transportation they all oppose with such vigor), so they had to move further west to find a nest with a big enough bar. Ladue and Town and Country don’t have hotel lobbies big enough to hold them.
I’ll have to get my digital camera ready to snap pictures of all of those Upstanding, Moral Figures rolling and staggering out of the bars on Main Street.
The party’s national leader is from Cape. Why not hold it there?
Or better yet, hold the meeting in Chesterfield and use it to launch the campaign to form the new Ronald Reagan County from the 636 portion of St. Louis County.
Democrats have eroded the Republican numbers in St. Charles County, but the Republicans still retain a slight majority. Of course, by 2010, who knows the party of NO could be in the minority in St. Charles County if they continue doing the same old stuff. By 2010 St. Charles County might be the only place still friendly to a gathering of the dittoheads. And there’s plenty of bars serving underage females for them to visit after the upper crust dinner at the convention center.
