LOL- Virginia GOP looks like is going to dump chairman, Jeffrey Frederick, as he runs out back door

[underpants]

The governing body of the Republican Party of Virginia apparently is poised to dump its embattled chairman barely nine months after he took power in a coup against the GOP's old guard.

Frederick may have been weakened further yesterday when he lost the confidence of the GOP's titular leader and all-but-certain nominee for governor, former Attorney General Bob McDonnell.

McDonnell described the revolt against Frederick as a grass-roots effort. But McDonnell tacitly sanctioned the uprising, saying that with Republicans attempting to take back the governorship and defending a shrinking majority in the House of Delegates, "it would be helpful . . . to have more effective leadership in this pivotal year."

The bill of particulars against Frederick includes the GOP's vast losses in November; lagging fundraising; his comment that Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden both had friends who had bombed the Pentagon; and use of his consulting firm to redo the party's Web site.

To remove a chairman, party rules require a three-quarter vote of the central committee; that would be 58 of 77 members. The chairman must be told at least 30 days in advance of the vote.

On Wednesday -- a month before the central committee meets -- vice chairman Michael E. Thomas went to GOP headquarters on East Grace Street and waited 90 minutes to notify Frederick personally. When Thomas stepped into an office to confer with two staff members, Frederick dashed out of the building to his car, said high-ranking state GOP sources.

Hee, hee, hee. I couldn't resist.

2. They did in 2008

full out screaming matches between the mods and the CONservatives

The mods thought they could throw the CONS a bone with Gilmore for Senate but they wouldn't go down that easy
they have also, stop me if you've heard this one before, fully obstructed Kaine here

The state senate leader Walter Stosch had to drain most of his considerable money resources to fight off a guy named Blackburn which is unheard of here or in most state operations.

Frederick was indeed a coup by the CONS at their state meeting last year.
