Dems prep for charity softball game with swing at McCain
Martin Casas, head of the St. Louis Young Democrats, is setting the tone early for his group’s upcoming charity softball game against their Republican counterparts.
“While they have a candidate who needs a walker to make it around the bases,” Casas writes in an e-mail to fellow Democrats, “we’ll show them that YES, WE CAN beat them this weekend!”
Young Democrats will take on Young Republicans Sunday at 2 p.m. on the diamond at the city’s Lyon Park, near the Brewery. The game will benefit Cool Down St. Louis, which provides energy assistance to low-income households.
Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder, a Republican, and St. Louis County Executive Charlie A. Dooley, a Democrat, are serving as the honorary “club owners.”
The Dems, by the way, are still looking for players. If you’re interested, drop them an e-mail.


I know the young Dems were trying to be funny with the Walker comment, but I wonder if any of them could spend five years in a hell hole like the Hanoi Hilton and still be as active and vibrant as John McCain is now? I hope none of them will ever have to find out.
