NanoPost: Phear RPV Tech

Jeff Frederick's stellar IT background has brought the exciting world of ASP (c. 1996-2000) to the Republican Party of Virginia's web site:  http://rpv.org/news.asp.  What could be next?  An Access backend?  By the way, when are they going to start the competitive bidding for those cool projects they're working on? :)
