Crowd more interesting than speeches at Republican Lobsterfest

The Palm Beach County Republican Party’s annual Lobsterfest extravaganza was another big success, with 271 tickets sold and attendees dining on succulent South African lobster tails at The Beach Club on Palm Beach on Thursday. Those in the crowd seemed more interested in talking to one another than listening to the perfunctory speeches given by candidates and elected officials, none of whom offered any truly memorable moments in their largely boilerplate comments. That’s par for the course for an off-year political event held three days after the Fourth of July, but it was a pleasant evening nonetheless.

In the Republican primary for U.S. Senate, only former Florida Rep. Adam Hasner and Col. Mike McCalister spoke live. Former U.S. Sen. George Lemieux and Florida Senate President Mike Haridopolos had other commitments, although Haridopolos sent a video welcome. The video wasn't played, but it is included below.

It was fun but it was too close to the fourth of July.

The event seemed very relaxed this year, since it is not an election year. I hope everyone is just resting up for the big fight next year! It was pretty fun.

Question, if anyone knows, is Adam Hasner related to the Hasner who was involved in the Real Estate scandal in Palm Beach County??

either they did not have the set up or

why bother, you don’t show then you don’t show. Don’t patronize us with a BS video. or

he had a really good excuse for not showing and they judge elected not to.

Not complaining, just curious. The talking went on long enough.
