The spokesman for the Virginia Republican Party will be leaving his position next week to take a job with the American Life League, according to Charles Judd, the executive director of the party.

Judd said Kenney resigned because he got "an offer he couldn't refuse" from the American Life League, an anti-abortion group based in Stafford. Judd will name a new spokesman at this weekend's Virginia Republican Party retreat in Crystal City.

"He has really helped put RPV front and center in both the traditional media and new media so we really appreciate his contribution," Judd said of Kenney

Kenney, who had been a conservative blogger, was hired to help the Virginia Republican Party match the role liberal blogs have played in several recent statewide elections. But some Republican strategists have questioned whether Kenney did enough to reach out to the traditional media.

Kenney already appears to be returning to his old love for blogging.
