DeVore Spokesman Attacks Palin as "Sheepdog"
C4P ^ | 06 MAY 2010 | C4P

Posted on 05/06/2010 6:01:12 PM PDT by Extremely Extreme Extremist

I was intrigued when I saw this Tweet from Carly Fiorina:

Hmm, sounds like Team DeVore just called Palin a Sheepdog... Generating fake outrage over endorsement #casen

...so I decided to check out the reaction of Chuck DeVore's campaign team to Governor Palin's endorsement of Carly Fiorina in the California Senate primary. And yes, they did indeed send out a press release using that terminology.

This grassroots movement is actually a grassroots movement. Carly Fiorina thinks she can find the sheepdog to corral the sheep.

Here's the problem with Team DeVore's assessment of Tea Party support for their candidate - a March Field Poll of California voters found that Tea Party sympathizers actually break for Carly Fiorina more than Chuck DeVore.

Let's be honest here folks: Our main objective is to boot Boxer from Washington. As bad a Senator Boxer is, she is a very cut-throat campaigner. She carved Matt Fong and Bruce Hershsesohn to shreds and both were staunch conservatives. She has used dirty tricks at the end to portray the GOP candidates as hypocrites, and they end up losing the race.

She can't do the same to Carly. First of all, Carly is a female and breast cancer survivor. Second of all, Carly has the millions to go toe-to-toe with Boxer unlike DeVore. Third of all, Carly is a moderate with conservative bonafides to pull in conservative votes, yet she won't alienate independent voters and can't be caricaturized as a right-wing kook.

DeVore needs to take the high road here and look at the bigger picture, instead of attacking Palin.

The GOP is imploding. It’s obvious they don’t want to win in November.

He’s desperate and trying to remain relevant.

Your assessment is spot on.

If DeVore is indeed attacking Sarah he is dead to me.

Sarah Palin has something to say to the "nattering nabobs of negativity" ... LOL ...

Palin Endorses Pro Life, Traditional Marriage, Military, Anti-Amnesty & 100% NRA Rated Carly Fiorina

Governor Palin is Right that Carly Fiorina is the Best Choice for California Conservatives

DeVore can’t beat Boxer. Might be a great guy but he’ll get thumped.

This is California.

DeVore is a good guy. He’d be my first choice for senator. However, he is conducting a pathetic campaign.

Exactly - and it works both ways. Carly can help with the "moderate," "independent," "centrist," "fiscal conservative" California middle-of-the-road women that Hillary is going to gun for. But - quite simply - De Vore would only help the idea that those women have nothing in common with Sarah.

It's all about the presidential showdown with Hillary, folks. Hard leftists will vote for Hillary no matter what, had conservatives will vote for Sarah no matter what, because the primary subject will be what happens with Obamacare: Hillary will put stormtroopers behind it, Sarah will get rid of it.

So what's left? The fight over the middle mushy voters who want their pet indulgences stroked. Disgusting, yes, But that's what it comes down to, and don think Hillary doesn't know it.

Can Fiorina beat Boxer?

I'm just asking an honest question, knowing little about either challenger. If she has the better chance, I'm for her.

DeVore disappointed me when he and Fiorina appeared on Hannity’s Show from the Reagan Library. The tone that night was attacking Obama and the Democrats. Suddenly DeVore started attacking Fiorina. For DeVore or his team to start attacking Palin is suicidal.

devore was the best shot.

I am beginning to think nothing is going to happen in November except the further destruction of the US.

Folks, Palin wont help us, nor anyone else except God.

The thing is, Sarah didn't even criticize DeVore in her Facebook endorsement, so I don't understand the vitriol coming from DeVore's team.

It's all sour grapes and bitterness. Sarah simply made a strategic, pragmatic decision here and went with the candidate who meets the minimum standards of conservatism and who has the money to defeat Boxer. DeVore doesn't have the money to compete with Boxer in the expensive CA media market. He would get crushed like a bug.

Not only that, but he's making the leap from an assemblyman to a U.S. Senator. That's like a Mayor of a small city running for President.

I am beginning to believe that Palin’s role is to support the most winnable and conservative candidates available, but DeMint is indeed the guy with Wisdom, Political Insight/Experience, and Kahonnes to lead the RINO kill that is so, ever so necessary, before we can hope to restore Our Fallen Republic!

I don’t know but she stands a far better chance than DeVore.

It’s the reality of California whether I like it or not.

from article

“...DeVore spokesman Josh Trevino. He seems to have quickly switched into Palin-bashing mode, tweeting links to several MSM pieces from media outlets anxious to drum up controversy about Governor Palin. He also includes this Tweet, an instruction to his people to get out there and do some astroturfing on Governor Palin’s social networking sites:”

I talked to Trevino, and warned him that negative campaign wasn’t going to be popular, this year.

But I guess when you are 3rd of three, it is the best tool.

GOD is all powerful but Palin is helping every day... and she is the only one that is. She is focused on beating the dims with the most Conservative candidate that SHE believes CAN win. I disagreed with her on mccain and I am not sure about this race yet... but the bottom line is that this is California. Massachusetts elected Brown... not exactly Conservative and he made me mad voting for obamacare... but he is one heck of a sight better than ted kennedy! If nothing else... boxer will be gone! It ain't much... but she is one huge b!tch.
