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 […]

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 […]
State Central To Vote On Mass Suicide
3 April 2009 | RPV | 29 Comments
Tomorrow the State Central Committee will vote on a proposal to split the Republican Party of Virginia into two groups: A big business, tax-friendly, weak on illegal immigration group lead by Speaker Howell that will seek to out-Democrat the Democratic Party of Virginia that would be in charge of things, and another grass-roots conservative group […]

RPV’s Tribute To George Bush
24 January 2009 | RPV, National Politics | 69 Comments
Usually these emails don’t get a lot of attention from me, but this week’s “Chairman’s Update” from Republican Party of Virginia Jeff Frederick was so well written it wouldn’t be right to let it rot in the graveyard of my inbox. I’ve yet to encounter a better evaluation of the presidency of George Bush, the […]

Jim Rich Declares He’s A Democrat
5 December 2008 | RPV | 15 Comments
10th District Chairman Jim Rich decided to lash out at other Republican Party officials to the Washington Post, once again demonstrating just how incredibly unfit for office he is. The stink has gotten so bad that even Hampton Roads blog Bearing Drift is excoriating Rich for this most recent dumb move. If Rich is taking […]

I’ll Stick With Jeff Frederick
24 November 2008 | RPV | 32 Comments
There’s a debate supposedly within the Republican party over whether it should remain steadfast to Republican principles or be “pragmatic” about them in order to appeal to independents and Democrats. Another concurrent debate has started about Jeff Frederick as RPV Chairman. If you really want to understand why these debates are happening, look no farther […]

The Backbiting Must Stop
9 November 2008 | RPV | 39 Comments
One GOP unit Chairman for Greenville-Emporia (total population about the size of Manassas Park, VA) has called on RPV Chairman Jeff Frederick To resign, prompting “The Contemporary Conservative” to post Carla Harris’ letter underneath a post title that alleges that GOP Chairmen are calling for RPV Chairman Jeff Frederick to resign. If one obscure unit […]

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 […]
