Decatur To Host Illinois GOP State Convention 2008

The Decatur Conference Center and Hotel (the former Holiday Inn) will be the location for the 2008 Illinois State GOP Convention on June 6-7, 2008.

The IL GOP's choice for their convention was made for several reasons (central location) but also because Decatur was where Abraham Lincoln was first nominated for President of the United States in 1860.

This choice by the IL GOP stands in stark contrast to the Illinois Democrats who seem to think that the state of Illinois is primarily north of I-80 and that the rest of the state is just the "suburbs." For the sake of the state, I hope Mr. McKenna and the Party are able to produce some quality people to fix the mess that Rod Blagojevich has made of Illinois.
