It was a long summer for Governor Corbett and the state GOP, but rather than looking back, the party is hoping to look forward towards an important fall legislative session and beyond into the election year of 2014.
This weekend the party will host its annual Fall Meeting, an opportunity for party members to meet, greet, and eat while planning for the months ahead. The meeting will take place at the Harrisburg Hilton on Friday and Saturday.
There are no big primaries brewing for the GOP, so the big story to watch: whether party regulars will embrace Gov. Corbett’s proposal to accept federal funding as part of a health care expansion under Obamacare.
The schedule for the weekend is as follows and includes just one extracurricular event:
Thursday, September 19
Anne B. Anstine Reception
Civic Club of Harrisburg
The organization, which trains GOP women to run for office or work in politics, will inaugurate its 12th class Thursday evening. Speakers include Secretary of the Governor’s Office of Administration Kelly Logan, National Committeeman Bob Asher and National Committeewoman Christine Toretti.

GOP Convetioneers: If you see Ray Gricar, you probably had too many absinthe martinis or DA Ray is on his way to his own press conference to inquire why the Corbett Manhunt for his body has gone so frigidly cold. http://www.altoonamirror.com/page/content.detail/id/574962/Police-probe-cl

THE NECROPHILIA LOLLAPALLOZA: 1. When will Rob Gleason, PA’s #1 race hustler,conduct his seminar on how to scare the white folk? 2. When will COS Gromis-Baker conduct her presentation on influence peddling in PA’s health Care industry: You can join this grassroots movement too!! 3. Corbett policy director Branstetter, please give my best wishes to Brian Nutt [redacted] and Daddy Nutt too, our PA Turnpike Commissioner. 4. Renee Amoore, the UNDERGROUND RAILROAD will be stopping for you sometime late Friday. 5. Finally, I don’t give a bleep what Gleason or Front Man Corbett says, give me the gang sign to get into Acting Governor Brabender’s private reception so I can do some business. POLITICAL NECROPHILIA: IT’S ALL GOOD!!
GOP Fall or GOP Fail ?
Both look to be the case for Corbett.
