Neil, others in CA who are not part of the Tom McClintock wing of the R party out here in CA would disagree with you. Mostly the Congressional R’s from CA.are not backing DeVore.

Endorsements for Fiorina:

Honorable Howard P. “Buck” McKeon
Honorable George Radanovich
Honorable Devin Nunes
Honorable Gary Miller
Honorable Mary Bono Mack
Honorable Kevin McCarthy

Throw in Palin’s endorsement, DeVore does not stand much of a chance of winning the primary.

Do not agree. Re-electing Boxer would be the worst choice for Kali and the nation.

They stood with the party on health care, only one defection in the House and none in the Senate – and Cao opposed the second vote.

So even those “Rs” we least admire stood up. So much for your complaint they will “pretty much go along with all the democrats want to do” . . .

Sorry, preferring Boxer over even the worst choice, Campbell, makes no rational sense. If we change your analogy to the more common one, that we are in a car headed towards a cliff at 60 mph. Does it make any sense to reject those who would drive only 30, while we figure out another way to put on the brakes?

Those who demand all or nothing nearly always end up with nothing.

I am from PA and don’t know Fiorina well enough enough to know if she’s a Rino (Rio-rino?) or not. But if she is a Specter-type Rino, then I understand your feelings on the matter. Specter is now lamenting that he did not stay a Republican in order that he could have supported better Obama’s agenda, such as the health-care plan.

If a Republican is elected who will just lend cover to Obama’s agenda (“See, the bill got bipartisan support!”), then it would be very hard to be enthused about the election. This is coming from someone who regrets supporting Specter because Bush/Santorum and the GOP establishment told me to support him over Toomey. I was regretting having him in the Senate within three months of the election. He used his position to attack Rush Limbaugh, Bush, and various others on the Republican and/or conservative side, and the press played this here in PA as if “his principled, above politics stand” showed how out of touch conservatives (read, “right-wing”) were with the American people.

Of course, all this changes if there is a possibility that control of the Senate or House could change hands because of the Rinos. If the Rinos are needed for that purpose, then they can serve a useful purpose.

The latest poll out from the weekend shows Campbell up seven points over Boxer. The same poll shows DeVore trailing her by ten. I don’t typically like to gauge support for a candidate based on polling this far out from an election, but when I see a statement like yours I find it worth bringing up.

Chuck DeVore is unlikely to defeat Boxer in a statewide race. Despite her unpopularity, California is too liberal of a state to elect someone as conservative as DeVore to a statewide office. I’d be happy to support DeVore if he were running in a red state, but not in Cali.

Fiorina is going to be in desperate need of DeVore voters after the primary.

Don’t go out of your way to be nasty and alienate any of them.

That’s really not helpful at all. The only thing that counts is beating BABS, how does your finger in the eye of the DeVore supporters accomplish that feat?

Geesh

I think I hear the strains of “I’m going to ask the moderators to ban your ass”

But you are a liar, so I didn’t expect you to be honest with us here.
