Breaking News: Pat Mullins Running for RPV Chair
Right now, I am sitting at the Young Republican Federation of Virginia Convention in Fredericksburg, and we recently heard some breaking news. Pat Mullins is running for Republican Party of Virginia Chairman and Sandy Liddy Bourne will be joining Mullins as Chair of Victory Virginia. It is a great example of Republican unity and a step moving forward for Virginia Republicans. Congratulations to Pat Mullins and Sandy Liddy Bourne for standing on core Republican principles and committing to bringing victory back to Virginia!

I think this is the biggiest news ever to have come out of a YRFV convention.
Pat and Sandy will make an excellent team. Their leadership will certainly help our Republican statewide ticket win this November.
Have you been drinking purple passion?
A great team = Progress for the GOp & Victory in November!
Oh, please, this is NOT news. He’s been calling around for weeks and his surrogates long before the JF vote. There will be no “unity” for Pat Mullins, though I expect some interested parties to act like there is. It will not work … nor should it.
There will be other, more conservative, candidate(s). And no, not named Frederick … at least I certainly hope not.
Pat Mullins was and is an establishment insider who helped Tom Davis get elected first to Fairfax BOS and then Congress. Maybe that’s what the Convention wants, maybe not. Maybe that’s what RPV needs, maybe not.
But it won’t be an automatic.
My bet is a clear conservative totally unconnected with RPV now or past will run and make this a healthy, interesting competition.
Ciao.
What you’ve got to understand is that Frederick’s vast, grass-roots organization will return him to control of RPV without question. The thing Republicans should be afraid of is the question of whether the party loses him to a third-party run for governor. Frederick is a great man with a great many ideas. I have watched him put on overalls, hop into an old, beat-up pick-up truck and travel from farmhouse to farmhouse in rural Virginia. He stops in to visit and the inhabitants light up, with his powerful rays of hope and conservatism brightening their otherwise benighted lives. He sits and drinks a cup of coffee with them and speaks to them in a voice they can understand while they now live happily for the rest of their lives from such a visit.
Frederick’s background is also well-renowned. In college, he destroyed a statewide College Republican organization, rather than allow it to fall victim to RINOs. He served this country as a decorated combat veteran in the Franco-Belgian troubles for at least twelve months in the Naval Reserve before receiving his honorable discharge and deciding to dedicate his life to providing Virginia Republicans with the leadership they need. I also understand from classified sources that Jeff may have trained the SEALs that recently rescued an American merchant captain from Somali pirates. During the 2008 campaign, Jeff was able to prioritize and put certain campaigns on ice (McCain, Gilmore, etc.) and focus on those of greater import while traveling to Israel for important negotiations, the purpose of which will be disclosed later. I am not a Frederick fanatic, nor am I insane, but I plan to stand proudly with Jeff Frederick and his beautiful wife (female) at the state convention and demand his reinstatement as RPV chair. With leadership like Jeff Frederick’s, America can be number one again.
