St. Charles snags 2010 state GOP Lincoln Day 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.
Great, the brain trust at the State Party has finally closed the door on St. Louis. We can now finish our exodous from St. Louis County.
About a week after the 2008 election, Republicans were actually sounding intelligent, making comments like we can’t win statewide anymore and lose St. Louis County. Well, this surely doesn’t help, especially in an election year when we make our great “comeback”.
Idiots…
