VCU’s Bob Hollsworth on Jeff Frederick [1]:
But this is what baffles me about the Frederick story.
What would a win look like?
The party rules say that his detractors need to have 75% of the vote at the smackdown to remove him.
What if they fail by one vote or a couple of votes?
Is this a win? Would he declare victory if only 74% of the Central Committee voted to remove him?
Unless every report I”ve read is seriously wrong about the likely final count, it appears that Frederick is in a no-win” situation.
He is either booted out or he stays on after an effective vote of no confidence.
This really isn’t much of a choice.
