NEW HQ, OLD BS -- St. Louis City Democrats will be opening their new temporary headquarters Thursday to stage campaign activities for the November general election. The new digs will be located in the St. Louis Marketplace on Manchester. Interesting location, considering the gigantic failure of leadership that the Marketplace represents to so many locals.
Developed in 1992 with the use of eminent domain, $15 million of public money, and a familiar promise to "spur development," most of its life has been spent near vacant and as an ugly reminder of what happens when BS from overly optimistic politicians doesn't line up with the reality of Joe and Jane Public, who haven't dropped much dough at the Marketplace in over a decade.
The Dems better hope Joe and Jane are more generous with their actual votes than they are with their dollar votes.BETTER ON DAY TWO -- St. Louis Public Schools reports nearly 84% of students expected to attend school today were in the classroom. These Day Two numbers reflect a big boost from the 72% attendance on Day One.
"We are certainly pleased to see an increase in the attendance for day two," said Interim Superintendent Diana Bourisaw in a statement released to the media. She added that district leaders still want "all of our kids in school tomorrow."
The total enrollment for St. Louis Public Schools today was 27,620 compared with the first day enrollment of 23,558.SHE'S STILL GOT GALL! -- Jamilah Nasheed, who is running unopposed in north St. Louis' 60th State Rep District after winning the primary three weeks ago, is recuperating tonight after having her gallbladder removed earlier today. We're told she came through the surgery fine and was back on her cell phone within the hour. Bladder or not, we're sure Nasheed's trademark boldness and "gall" will be back to full strength in no time.

Antonio, I read this on Daily Kos. It is quite offensive and thought your readers should know about this guy.

Antonio:
I'd think you'd approve of the movements afoot for the November election cycle--voter registration campaigns, voter ID info campaigns, and GOTV in some of the lower turn-out areas, such as the 20th ward.
