McEwen’s party doesn’t have alcohol either

In fact, it was a wonder the Bob McEwen campaign has a place to throw tonight’s party.

The campaign originally planned to hold the event at the Mercy Healthplex in Anderson Township, which is where McEwen announced earlier this year that he would challenge Rep. Jean Schmidt in the GOP primary for the 2nd District.

But when his campaign called yesterday to confirm, the reservation couldn’t be found and the room had already been booked.

“We had to scramble,” McEwen spokesman Michael Harlow said, adding that the campaign wanted to hold the party in Anderson Township because, “It’s Bob’s strongest place of support and close to his home.”

McEwen purchased a condo here last year.

So if they don’t have alcohol, what do they have?

Lots of bottled water and soda. Guests are munching on cheese, crackers, veggies, strawberries, meatballs, potato salad and sandwiches, which have already started to rapidly disappear!
