I’m up in Fresno for a California Republican Party Leadership Summit with fellow Board Members, and County Chairmen and County Treasurers from all around the Golden State. We’ll be doing a lot of ‘roll up your sleeves’ work to prepare for the upcoming 2008 elections. At lunch, local Congressman George Radonovich will be talking to us, and we’ll see what word he brings from Washington (nothing good, I suspect).
Anyways, FR’s former Managing Editor Nicholas Romero was on hand last night as the Orange County Lincoln Club (click their ad to the right for more info) hosted former Tennesee Senator and Law & Order Actor Fred Thompson at their annual dinner. It was a major event and their most well attended annual dinner in the Club’s history. Congratulations to the Lincoln Club for such a successful event.
That said, I think all of the attendees were hoping to be on hand for the moment when Thompson’s ‘rumored’ and ‘wished for’ candidacy for the White House would become a reality. Alas, last night was not the chosen night for such an announcement. Still, if you make your way over to our main page, you can read Nicholas’ in depth piece on the speech and the event, and we also have some video excerpts from the speech as well! There are a number of articles from the Chron, the LA Times, and the Register for your perusal as well.
I’m going to head off to our day of meetings… Have a great Saturday, and happy Cinco de Mayo!Care to read comments, or make your own about today’s Daily Commentary?
