Jason Kenney is live-blogging the Republican Party of Virginia Convention over at Virginia Virtucon.
The big race to be decided today, of course, is the Senate race between Jim Gilmore and Bob Marshall, but party also has to decide on the race between John Hager and Jeff Frederick for RPV Chairman.
Looks like they’re having a heck of a time down in Richmond.
Update: It looks like it was closer than expected, but Gilmore wins:
1:35pm: Gilmore is the nominee

A margin of less than 100 (weighted) votes. I wonder what this has to say for party unity in the fall.
