There are two candidates who have a chance to win the Republican nomination for Senate in June 2010. One is Chuck DeVore. One of our Fighting Four candidates this primary season, he announced last November his candidacy to defeat Senator Barbara Boxer. Term-limited from his state Assembly seat, he’s committed to victory.
The other is Carly Fiorina. A political novice, never having run for office before, she doesn’t even know if she’s running for this office yet. In big, black letters her own, brand-new website asks “Coming Soon?” It’s no wonder she won’t even fund her own campaign. Why spend that money when she might not even run?
Chuck DeVore is on Facebook. Chuck DeVore is on Twitter, and he’s active on both. Carly Fiorina’s webpage has placeholder, non-functional links to both services. She may, or may not, show up to engage Republicans, and will do so only when it’s convenient for her.
We have two choices in June, but only one candidate is there for us and committed to fighting Barbara Boxer, the dumbest member of the US Senate. The clear choice is Chuck DeVore. I hope we can give to him and good conservatives like him to help him fight for us and win.

If Fiorina isn't sure on the Senate run...
mikefisk (Diary) Wednesday, September 23rd at 10:10AM EST (link)…maybe we can convince her to challenge Whitman in the gubernatorial primary? Not entirely sold on DeVore or Fiorina, but either one is better for the Senate than Boxer, and Fiorina would be a better choice for governor than Whitman.
Hopefully a good fundraising push from DeVore can get Carly to switch races.

Carly: Give me a break!
lostinpaloalto Wednesday, September 23rd at 11:20AM EST (link)The day Carly was FIRED by HP, they played “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead” over the PA system in Cupertino.
You will all feel the same way about her when she quits the race for some idiotic reason or if she miraculously ends up staying in the campaign and loses to Boxer.
There has to be someone better than Carly.
Dumbest member of the US Senate?
Duane White (Diary) Thursday, September 24th at 1:52AM EST (link)I hate to disagree with you, but I maintain that the title of “dumbest senator in the country” belongs to Washington’s very own Patty Murray. Here’s a woman who really needs to be looking for a new job next November, I just hope there is a decent candidate who shows up on the scene to assist her in a much needed career change.

Sadly,
redtillimdead (Diary) Friday, September 25th at 5:17PM EST (link)I don’t see her going anywhere. She is very popular.
Nancy Pelosi can kiss my asstroturf.
Only in the Seattle area.
Duane White (Diary) Saturday, September 26th at 3:01AM EST (link)Most of the rest of the state can’t stand her. Over here on the red side of this state we’d like to have someone in the senate who has a little bit of common sense. Sadly, Patty is lacking in that and many other areas. The challenge is going to be finding someone who can appeal to voters across a wide political spectrum in the King Country area.
It will be tough, but I do not believe it to be a lost cause. Even a moderate republican would be better than the far left ideology of Murray.
