ST. PETERS;• St. Charles County Republicans were working to salvage their role in the primary process a day after a frustrating caucus meltdown that many said could have been avoided.
St. Charles County was to have been the biggest prize on what was the most important day for Missouri Republicans hoping to help select their party's nominee for president.
Instead, Saturday's St. Charles County caucus was shut down when tension flared between members of the crowd and the local GOP activists who were running the meeting.
The meeting adjourned without awarding delegates — leaving county Republicans with unwelcomed scrutiny, and an uncertain role in the nominating process.
Most likely, the caucus will be rescheduled, but when and in what form is unclear.
"I don't know what's going to happen, because I don't think this has ever happened before," said St. Charles County Council member Joe Brazil.
Brazil, like other local Republicans, blamed the organizers for acting hastily in shutting the meeting down.
Tense meetings, Brazil said, may be difficult, but they are also not an uncommon occurrence in politics.
