High Street Beat is the personal weblog of John Landwehr, a partner at Cook Vetter Doerhoff & Landwehr and a former Mayor of Jefferson City. Your comments, feedback and suggestions are welcome.
If you say, "Go Cardinals" anywhere within 500 miles of Missouri, the baseball meaning is clear. But for two Missouri political figures the statement is ambiguous.
U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri and former house speaker Catherine Hanaway and the Mayor of the Capital City are rare birds - graduates of The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. CUA's sports teams are the Cardinals.
Hanaway and Landwehr combined forces at the annual Governor's Prayer Breakfast this morning and, by chance, both encouraged humility among elected officials. Landwehr gave the invocation and Hanaway gave a stirring main address. Political rivals Governor Blunt and Governor Elect Nixon shared the main stage and had very positive things to say.
