Del. Jeff Frederick, newly-elected chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia, tells the Washington Post he's already reconsidering his promise not to run for re-election:"A lot of guys around here are trying to convince me,'' Frederick said during a House recess. "I really don't want to (run)...But if there's this huge call and everyone in the world wants me to run for re-election, I guess there is some chance. If the whole world says we're going to relieve you of your pledge."As Rob reported earlier, Flip-Flop Frederick's backpedaling began in a new fundraising email. I guess Frederick's just trying to show support for the top of the ticket and the Flip-Flop Express, huh?
Frederick said he is 99.9 percent sure he will not run but that he is continuing to raise money to help his wife, Amy, if she decides to run for his seat and to continue to pay for costs to serve his district over the next 18 months.
