Branson has been selected as the host city for the 2008 Missouri Republican Party State Convention from May 30 to June 1, Missouri Republican Party Chairman Doug Russell announced today. The State Convention will be held at Branson’s Chateau on the Lake.

"Branson is known internationally for its hospitality, entertainment and family-friendly atmosphere and we are very much looking forward to holding the 2008 Missouri Republican Party State Convention in this vibrant and exciting community," Russell said. "Next year will be an exciting one for Missouri Republicans and Branson is the perfect community in which to be selecting our delegates to the Republican National Convention and adopting our state platform."

Branson was chosen by the 11-member Site Selection Subcommittee of the Missouri Republican State Committee during meetings in Kansas City this past weekend. The Republican National Committee has tentatively assigned Missouri 58 delegates and 55 alternates to the Republican National Convention in Saint Paul, Minnesota, from Sept. 1 to Sept. 4, 2008, where the Republican nominees for President and Vice President will be selected.

to the left of what. a better question would be what's left for democrats?

I look forward to hearing andy willimas sing moon river.

I noticed similar information of years after 2004 are not available---wonder why?

I wonder if any of the republicans will get a chance to talk about education issues with president of the state takeover board Peter Herschend.

March 19,2007 turner report:

"MODOT built Pete Herschend a private road on West 76 to Silver Dollar City. It sees very little traffic, but Good Ole' Boy Ashcroft declared it an Economic Emergency to get federal funding on the fast track!Good job guys, those of us on E 76 don't need a road anyway, the cowpath to town is plenty good enough. Herschend doesn't travel our road, bet if he did it would sure be on the fast track for repair!
