10th CD Chairman Videos

26 February 2010 | RPV, US Congress | 3 Comments

I imagine there aren’t a whole lot of people who have had the chance to see both candidates for 10th Congressional District Chairman.  Now that Dave Schmidt has a video up on his website, readers have an opportunity to get to know both of them a little bit.  This is the first time I’ve seen […]

Howie Lind For 10th CD Chairman

19 February 2010 | RPV, Virginia Politics | 4 Comments


I was able to make it to a meeting of the Leisure World Republican Club in Loudoun County this week and shot this footage of Howie Lind’s remarks. Howie has a great vision for the 10th Congressional District Committee and would make a great chairman. I hope BVBL readers […]

Jim Rich Bows Out!

25 January 2010 | RPV | 8 Comments

Apparently sensing that running for re-election would be a lost cause, 10th Congressional District Chairman Jim Rich has decided not to run for re-election.  Congratulations to Howie Lind for already improving the quality and performance of the 10th District just by announcing his candidacy!

Who do you support for 10th CD Chairman?

Ken Cuccinelli Endorses Howie Lind

24 January 2010 | RPV, Virginia Politics | 17 Comments

Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli announced his endorsement of Howie Lind for 10th District Chairman this weekend in a rare departure from the typical non-involvement of statewide elected officials in the selection of congressional district chairmen.  For Ken to do this you have to imagine that there are substantial issues with Jim Rich’s leadership as it […]

Howie Lind Rides To The Rescue!

17 January 2010 | RPV | 17 Comments

The Tenth Congressional District is rumored to have a call issued for a convention at which time a District Chairman will be elected pursuant to the requirements of the Party Plan.  Also rumored, because once again under the leadership of Jim Rich the call cannot actually be found anywhere, the filing deadline for candidates for […]

Your Tax Dollars At Work

24 June 2009 | RPV, DPVA, Virginia Politics | 10 Comments

RPV Chairman Pat Mullin’s look into what Governor Kaine has been doing as Chairman of the Democratic National Committee has already resulted in Virginians learning some rather interesting things about their part-time Governor.  One of the more fascinating tidbits has been that when Kaine is jetting across the country to headline partisan events in swanky […]

Corey Stewart At The Convention

4 June 2009 | RPV, Prince William County | 9 Comments


I caught up with Prince William County Chairman Corey Stewart on the floor of the convention immediately after the results were announced and got his impressions on the selection of Ken Cuccinelli as the nominee for Attorney General and the convention in general.  Folks at the convention were extremely pleased with […]

Sean Hannity at the RPV Convention

2 June 2009 | RPV | 7 Comments


Some readers have requested the video of Sean Hannity at the Republican Convention, and this is one of the very few speeches from the convention that I have. It was shot at extreme zoom on my camera and even that wasn’t quite enough, so the quality isn’t quite as good […]

Delegate Scott Lingamfelter At The RPV Convention

2 June 2009 | RPV, 31st HOD District | No Comments


Delegate Lingamfelter stopped by the mini-studio at the Republican convention, and I took the opportunity to interview him. We could hardly hear each other with all the noise in Richmond Coliseum so the audio is a little iffy, but Scott talks about the Tea Party movement and the implications it […]

RPV Convention Embraces New Media

2 June 2009 | RPV, Blogs | 13 Comments

The convention of the Republican Party of Virginia was an awesome event, although I had little time to take much of it in.  The RPV New Media Committee through sponsorship from the House Republican Caucus engaged me in streaming the convention live on ustream as well as running a mini-studio on the floor of the […]

RPV Convention Open Thread

27 May 2009 | RPV | 31 Comments

While I’m tied up getting ready for the Republican Convention in Richmond, I’m sure folks would be interested in finding out who you support and why.  With the Governor nomination a done deal, I’m supporting Bill Bolling and Ken Cuccinelli, of course.  In terms of the Chairman’s race, I think both candidates are good men […]

Getting Ready For the RPV Convention

9 May 2009 | RPV, Blogs | 6 Comments

Back when Jeff Frederick was RPV Chairman, he set in motion some interesting initiatives that are now coming to fruition under interim Chairman Pat Mullins.  Previous RPV Conventions used to generally tolerate blogs, but this year’s convention may be the first to bring blogs and New Media front-and-center.  The details are still being worked out, […]

Hmmm…

5 May 2009 | RPV | 10 Comments

Mason Conservative has an interesting observation regarding our new masters at RPV:
Did You Know . . . that according to my source inside RPV at 115 East Grace St in Richmond, there is only John Brownlee literature!  None for Cuccinelli and none for Foster!  Outrageous, but not surprising because the same people behind Frederick’s demise […]

Jeff Frederick Won’t Run

4 May 2009 | RPV | 10 Comments

Jeff Frederick has announced that he won’t be leading the charge to reclaim the Republican Party of Virginia by seeking election as Chairman, but encourages conservative grass-roots activists to keep fighting the State Central Committee establishment.  I think they will, even though there isn’t a grass-roots candidate for chairman at this point.

More Fuel On The Fire

13 April 2009 | RPV | 34 Comments

As the inside story continues to leak out about the removal of Jeff Frederick as RPV Chairman, it looks like a grass-roots revolt may be brewing that will come to a head at the upcoming RPV Convention.  Howie Lind’s recent email to Republican activists certainly adds fuel to that fire, but so far any actual […]

The Fallout

8 April 2009 | RPV | 28 Comments


H/T: Spank That Donkey
Like a number of others in the political blogosphere, I have deep concerns about the ongoing viability of the Republican Party of Virginia as an entity meaningful to the electoral process in Virginia.  As an organization, it has done everything possible to alienate itself from the people most […]

Jeff Frederick Removed

4 April 2009 | RPV | 67 Comments

Today the State Central Committee removed RPV Chairman Jeff Frederick from office by a vote of 57-18.
Who the next lamb destined for slaughter in this position will be has not been disclosed yet.  My expectation is that the appointment will speak volumes about why Frederick was removed, and firmly establish whether RPV has a future […]
