The 2006 College Democrats of America Convention will be held at St. Louis University from July 20-23. According to a CDA email, the focus of this year's event will be the 2006 mid-term elections.
The organization's website says that due to "unknown political pressures, Washington University recently came forward and decided that they were no longer able to host."
Students can register for the event online at www.collegedems.com.
On the other side of the isle, the Missouri Federation of Young Republicans will be gathering this weekend, Feb. 17 and 18, at the Sheraton Westport Hotel in St. Louis County for their "YR Big Party Weekend".
The group's flier advertises "6 hours of grassroots education" for just $34. Among the scheduled speakers are State Sen. Michael Gibbons and "Mr. California Republican Politics" himself, Mark Abernathy.

What were WashU's objections?
And I'm a little suprised that single-issue Catholics wouldn't object to SLU hosting. Then again, maybe former SLU Young Dem Prez McMillan convinced Biondi to act neutral.
