21st Annual 2009 Oldham County Lincoln Day Dinner Another Huge Success

Senator Jim Bunning and Secretary of State Trey Grayson among the attendees

Nearly 100 local and state Republicans attended this year's Oldham County Lincoln Day dinner on February 22 in Buckner. 
State Representative David Osborne served as the emcee for the event.  Retired Sergeant Major Tony Rose delivered
the keynote address and shared his experience of the September 11, 2001 attack of the Pentagon.

Judge-Executive Duane Murner provided his annual Lincoln address, emphasizing that President Lincoln "belongs" to
the Republican Party and not President Obama and the democrats, as they have attempted to portray.

Senator Jim Bunning addressed the crowd and reaffirmed confidence in his ability to win another term in Congress. 
Other political notables included Republican National Committee representative Gail Russell, State Senator Ernie Harris,
and other local elected officials of Oldham County.

A highlight of the affair was Bill Cooper's presentation of a bible to Senator Bunning.

The Oldham County Republican Women's Club President Janet Harris announced that the Club, in conjunction with members of the Osborne family---Beckie Osborne Dahn, Rep. David Osborne, and Mark Osborne has created a college scholarship in memory of their mother, Patricia "Pat" Osborne.  Click here for details.

Oldham County Republicans Deliver Once Again

Unofficial Election Results as of Wednesday November 05, 2008 at 07:24:24 AM EST

http://electionresults.ky.gov/KyElectWeb/

A successful get out the vote effort by Oldham County Republicans helped to secure Senator Mitch McConnell's reelection Tuesday.  Oldham County delivered 18,744 votes to Team Mitch and out-performed several larger GOP counties with respect to turn-out percentage.  As usual, Oldham County helped to offset the Jefferson County Democrat vote.  With about 20,500 registered Republicans, the 18,744 votes represents about 91 percent of  registered Republicans within the county, but does not take into consideration Democrat or Independent cross-over votes.

Oldham County Republicans recognized the stakes with respect to a 60 or more Democrat Senate majority and did their job on behalf of Republicans across the country.  Oldham County provided similar results for the McCain-Palin ticket, Congressman Geoff Davis and State Representative David Osborne, who was unopposed.
