"I do appreciate all of these nice, well-meaning folks encouraging me to be chairman," he said. "The promises, commitments and responsibilities I presently have preclude any ability to assume that chairman's position. And there's good folks — whether it's Sandy Liddy Bourne or Pat Mullins or others — who have the time and desire to do it."As to whether Jeff Frederick might himself run and be elected RPV chair once again, Allen comments, "you just don't know...The world is controlled by those who show up."
Gotta agree with Allen on that one. In fact, come to think of it, "showing up" worked pretty well for Jim Webb in 2006. :)
