With Cain out, Palm Beach County GOP scrambles for new Lincoln Day keynoter
by George Bennett | December 5th, 2011
Cain
Now county Republican Chairman Sid Dinerstein is scrambling to line up another big-name speaker for the dinner, which takes place three days before Florida’s presidential primary.
When the local GOP landed Cain as keynoter in October, a party e-mail blared “CAIN TRAIN STOPS IN PALM BEACH COUNTY FOR LINCOLN DAY.” But a county GOP e-mail last Thursday merely listed Cain as one of seven “invited keynote speakers” for the dinner.
“It had become clear to us before he officially dropped out that he had lost the viability that we need to have a successful Lincoln Day,” Dinerstein said. “We’ve been working on Plans B, C, D and E for more than a week.”
Plan B is to book another presidential candidate, said Dinerstein, who wouldn’t discuss plans further down the alphabet.
“We still want to take advantage of the fact that it’s three days before the primary,” Dinerstein said.
He said about 140 tickets have sold so far for the dinner at the Kravis Center. The GOP hopes to draw more than 700; it got about 600 for the February 2011 dinner with Newt Gingrich.

How about the Donald ??
He’s nutty.

How about Himmler? OR Goebbels. Those speakers would have the same effect on the crowd as Cain would have.

I think they should get the cast from Saturday Night Live, because the people who support any of the GOP candidates loves comedy, they must !!! with all the clowns they have to choose from.

Sid, Ginger White would do it. She did it with Cain.

I think it should be NEWT. He can get up there and bash cain like he use to do Clinton. OH! thats right….he got caught doing the same things? So what, the GOP seems to like their hypocrisy on a grand scale! NEWT!

The current Republican Party with the azz zit Tea Party hanging off it, is nothing like the Lincoln Republican Party. Their not even close to the beloved Reagan Republicans either. I changed party affiliation after Bush II. They have lost their way. Moderation is the key to compromise and getting things done, like it or not. The current crop of Republicans are destroying the party. Time to start drinking coffee, the ‘tea’ isn’t cutting it.

They need two speakers, Newt and Trump. They can both wear their clown suits, to bout.

And Herman can be the moderator. He’s a good motivational speaker, and he already has a clown suit.

RON PAUL!!!!!!!!!
Champion of the Constitution
The Modern day Thomas Jefferson
The founder of the Tea Party
71% of all Military troops support and Financially donate to Ron Paul.
IN this and the last Election. More active troops supported and donated to Paul’s Campaign than ALL OTHER Candidates COMBINED.
That is why RON PAUL is the only Honest and Respectible choice.

Just more BS from sub-Zero and his America-wrecking crew trolls.
Agreed, things here are not perfect; they never have been!
Perfect people exist only in fiction.
How really bad do things finally have to get before most honest working Americans finally get a clue and figure out what the problem is?
You want to biatch about the fact that some people get to eat steak while others can only afford hamburger?
The socialist option in their workers paradise is a culture where everyone eats beans.

Call Nancy Reagan – Republicans live in the past anyway – their ideas are 1980′s all over again.
Give more to the rich – take from the poor – after all, everything wrong in America is the fault of the poor.

That’s a great place to have the dinner too. A building where the management have broken more labor laws, and been found guilty more times than any other business
ever in the state of Florida, as well as owing more than 3 million dollars in back pay. Perfect for the Republicans, who don’t care about anyone but the rich.
