The Palm Beach County Republican Partys 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. Thats 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.

South African lobster?
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??
Why didn’t they show Haridopolos’ video?
Not sure.
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.
