My favoritest RPV chair ever, Jeff Frederick, is running for state senate! (Or, apparently, he and some friends will be sharing the seat, because in his e-mail to supporters, he wrote that “we’ve decided to run.“) This is for the 36th district, Toddy Puller’s open seat. I don’t know the dynamics of the district well …

Why I donated $100 to the RPV.
A couple of weeks ago I donated $100 to a presumably puzzled Republican Party of Virginia. Why? Last November I offered to make a $100 bet that Jeff Frederick would seek reelection to the House of Delegates after Frederick promised that he wouldn’t do so if he became the chair of the RPV. Shaun Kenney …
Jeff Frederick isn’t running for RPV chair, but maybe HoD.
Jeff Frederick’s decision not to re-run for the chairmanship of the RPV is a damned shame. That guy was Democrats’ ace in the hole. Granted, the party’s record of a new chair every year is encouraging—I’ve got every confidence that they’ll find a way to screw things up with the next chair—but we’ve got such …

“Put On Your Water Wings, the GOP Tide is Coming!”
The RT-D, whose editorial page is a long-standing friend of Republicans, calls out Jeff Frederick today: Jeff Frederick seems eminently qualified to serve as chairman of the Republican Club at Sean Hannity Middle School. The delegate from Prince William serves as chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia instead. There’s the rub. It goes on. …

Who will get the axe first: Jeff Frederick or Michael Steele?
Do Senate Republicans help or hurt Frederick?
I have to wonder whether the Senate Republican Caucus leaders calling for the defeat of Jeff Frederick helps or hurts him. The sort of people inclined to support Frederick as RPV chairman are the folks far enough to the right that they think Senate Republicans are just Democrats. My guess is that it’s going to …

Replace Jeff Frederick…with whom?
Norm Leahy has been ruminating productively on the renewed calls for RPV chairman Jeff Frederick to step down, first on noticing that it’s turned into a McDonnell/Frederick battle of wills, and second on the question of who should replace Frederick. I haven’t thought any about the effects of Bob McDonnell’s support of ousting Frederick, but …
RPV “dysfunctional.” News at eleven.
Back in June, RPV chairman Jeff Frederick named wealthy businessman Walter Curt the party’s finance chair. You’ll remember Curt as the guy who bankrolled the campaign of far-far-right candidate Scott Sayre against incumbent far-right Republican Sen. Emmet Hanger. Curt’s way out there on the fringe of the party, which is just where I like my …
Del. Frederick says he doesn’t plan to run for reelection.
Jeff Fredrick says he’s not running for reelection. There’s time for him to change his mind, but it’s look like Shaun Kenney is going to win our bet, meaning that I’ll need to donate $100 to the RPV.
Shaun Kenney takes my Jeff Frederick bet.
The bet is on. I’ll give $100 to the RPV if Jeff Frederick keeps his word, while Shaun Kenney will give $100 to the DPVA if Frederick turns out to have lied. The litmus test is if Frederick announces that he’s running for reelection. Shaun says that the “winner gets bragging privileges for at least …
