Matt Murphy doesn’t have the cash to cover beer and pizza.
Be prepared to pay your own tab!

Chet Culver? So we have to bring in other Governors from other states to talk at a county chairmens brunch? I dont get the logic by the chairmen on this one. Poor taste.

Waxum, what’s the problem? There’s going to be a primary. In fairness, you bring in an outsider.
I recall covering an Illinois GOP Lincoln Day Dinner in the 80s where Doc Adams brought in as keynote speaker the hottest politician of the moment — Gov. Mario Cuomo, D-NY.
Big Jim was honked, bought it sold tickets and got national press.

Why is a democratic county chairman, who is employed at a state agency, working in the Governor’s tent at the state fair and not having to use leave time? Something doesn’t seem ethical about this.
