Jeff Frederick Takes The Helm
1 June 2008 | RPV | 21 Comments
Today’s result in the race for Chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia marks a huge shift in favor of the grass-roots that will absolutely change the face of the party. The Too Conservative today offers a poster of the movie “Apocalypse Now” as a commentary, which depending on your viewpoint either signifies this as […]

Delegate Votes, Apples, Oranges, And Weighted Votes — UPDATED
31 May 2008 | RPV | 14 Comments
A funny thing happened to me on the way to my seat at the Republican Convention today. I saw a big sign for the 10th Congressional District, which is where I live, and Prince William County wasn’t seated there. After a little searching, I found out that I would be seated, and considered a voter […]

Gilmore Wins
31 May 2008 | RPV, US Senate | 25 Comments
I had to leave early before the results for Senate were announced, but Jim Gilmore eked out a very narrow victory at the Republican Convention today, Bearing Drift reports. Based on the sticker count I saw, Jeff Frederick should cruise to a pretty substantial victory.
Congratulations to Jim Gilmore for his victory, and Bob Marshall for […]

Is John Hager trying to run a railroad at the RPV Convention this weekend? By the looks of the information I got this evening, is kinda looks that way.

Commies Scream Bloody Murder About Jeff Frederick
28 May 2008 | RPV | 14 Comments
Man, I don’t know how one manages to get communists to rail against you like this, but I wish I knew how. When the far-left rails that Jeff Frederick, who is running for Chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia has ties to — gasp — Americans For Prosperity, “All Children Matter” and the Conservative […]

If He Had To Choose, Frederick Picks RPV Chair
20 May 2008 | RPV | 12 Comments
In an email tonight, Delegate Jeff Frederick announced that he would not seek re-election for the 52nd House District if elected as Chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia. My understanding is that there were some concerns about Frederick holding both positions simultaneously, and this is a response to those concerns.
Here’s what Jeff sent out […]

Congratulations to Jo-Ann Chase, Kay Gunter and Howie Lind for being elected to the Republican State Central Committee for the 10th District! This represents a pretty substantial victory for conservatives over the slate endorsed by 10th District Chairman Jim Rich, who was re-elected without opposition. There was some minor confusion as the initial results indicated […]
John Hager’s Endorsements From Democrats
16 May 2008 | RPV | 3 Comments
John Hager has been busily trying to tally up endorsements for his re-election as Chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia. In the midst of this effort, he managed to get endorsements not only from Mark Warner, but Dickie Cranwell. So far there hasn’t been a solid explanation of why an endorsement from a Democrat […]

Hager and Frederick Debate!
16 May 2008 | RPV | 6 Comments
The Prince William County Young Republicans have managed to set up what one else seems to have been able to make happen — a debate between candidates for RPV Chairman Jeff Frederick and John Hager. I don’t know how they managed to pull this off, but we get to reap the benefit regardless. The debate […]

Not A Classy Move
12 May 2008 | RPV | 12 Comments
Looks like someone out there has to be just a little more careful before sending out candidate endorsements to their mailing list. Just imagine getting emails from the Speaker saying that your spouse shouldn’t be selected to be the next Chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia…
Yeah, I’d be upset, too.
John Hager: Clueless
9 May 2008 | RPV | 5 Comments
Republican Party of Virginia Chairman John Hager is apparently laying down the gauntlet to unit chairmen to increase the size of their committees in typical RPV fashion: get bigger, or else you don’t get new money:
The effort calls on local Republican committees to double their membership lists by Labor Day. Those that do will receive […]
John Hager Gets An Endorsement He Probably Didn’t Want
20 April 2008 | RPV | 3 Comments
Courtesy of “SWAC Girl“, we learn that Senator Emmett Hanger is endorsing John Hager for RPV Chairman:
There’s a race going on for 6th District Chairman and with the current race for chairman of the party where you have a fairly brash delegate who has more of an in-your-face way of operating going up against what […]

John Hagar’s Uncomfortably Close Relationship With A Top RPV Vendor
16 April 2008 | RPV | 21 Comments
Creative Direct is one of the top vendors for the Republican Party of Virginia, providing those direct mail services for GOP candidates that fill your mailbox with dozens of campaign mailings every year. None of these contracts are actually bid in order to ensure RPV gets value with the contributions they receive, but are […]

The RPV Chairman Race
10 April 2008 | RPV | 11 Comments
Quick question: what is the most ossified institution in Virginia? No, I’m not talking about the Senate of Virginia, although that’s not a bad guess. I’m talking about the Republican Party of Virginia. If you want to find an institution that moves with the grace of a drunken elephant and stings with […]

Jeff Frederick Wows Hampton Roads

An interesting observation popped up on Bearing Drift this evening about Delegate Jeff Frederick’s candidacy for Chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia, and a meeting of the Republican Committee in Chesapeake:
Also of interest, Del. John Cosgrove’s legislative aid, Christie Craig, advocated on behalf of Del. Jeff Frederick for party chair. Two other distinguished GOP […]

Mr. Ed, A Virginia Legend

A Guest Posting by Alex P. Keaton
The last component of Mr. Ed’s legacy as RPV Chairman died last week, when the Supreme Court of Virginia ruled that the regional taxing authorities were unconstitutional. Ed crafted and defended these unelected unconstitutional regional taxing authorities claiming this would be the best way to keep a Republican majority […]
