John Boehner to address Georgia delegates in closed session
Tampa — The final meeting of the Georgia delegation to the Republican National Convention will feature an early morning address from U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, courtesy of House Speaker David Ralston.
What Boehner says will be a mystery to the rest of us. State GOP Chairman Sue Everhart has ruled that the Thursday meeting – like all other meetings of the Georgia delegation this week – will remain closed to journalists.
GOP spokesman Chris Kelleher said press was being excluded “at the request of one of the guest speakers” – but he could not say which one. But don’t assume that either Boehner or Ralston is the cause of the exclusion.
Previous closures have been intended to shield from reporters the lack of unanimity for Mitt Romney within the delegation – with little success.
By the way, the Insider is entirely willing to accept audio clips that might be sent via smart phone from tomorrow’s breakfast.
