Christine Todd Whitman endorses Tom Campbell for US Senate

Former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, co-chair of the Republican Leadership Council, said Monday that GOP candidates in the current election cycle must reject the "the party of no" profile and the idea that "compromise is a dirty word" -- and endorsed former Rep. Tom Campbell in California's hotly contested GOP U.S. Senate race.

"We feel he is the candidate which, besides being able to win in the fall...also brings those kinds of characteristics to play to the office that will make him a very effective Senator, and one that can start to solve problems,'' Whitman said in a visit to The Chronicle today. "He's not going to be so partisan that he will refuse to talk to people on the other side of the aisle. That's not the way he works."

LOL I don’t know where you all are finding these photos but these are gems

[Rational Thought]

Now that should cinch the election for Campbell

"We feel he is the candidate which . . . ."

Campbell is not a person but a thing? I suspected that might be the case.

[dalereed]

one socialist endorsing another socialist!

"He's not going to be so partisan that he will refuse to talk to people on the other side of the aisle. That's not the way he works."

Hell, a lot of the people on the "other side of the aisle" are to the right of him!

He is the people on the other side of the aisle.

Which one is Christie Todd?

This is a case of "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" right?

Like anyone cares.

I think I like my own state's US Senators' endorsements better than this one ... LOL ...

My own US Senators from my state are Inhofe and Coburn and they're definitely worthy of the name "conservative" ... so they know who is the one they want as a fellow conservative in the Senate with them.

Conservative Leaders For
CARLY FIORINA
U.S. Senate 2010

March 5, 2010

Fellow Conservatives:

This November, California will have an opportunity to call Barbara Boxer home and send a new conservative leader to the United States Senate. That new leader is Carly Fiorina. We are proud to endorse her as a fellow conservative who has real-¬‐world business experience and the guts and moxie to take on Barbara Boxer and win.

Carly is not a Washington insider. She is a proven business leader who understands the economy and advocates a strong national defense. And, she is a tough fiscal and social conservative who:

• Signed Americans for Tax Reform’s “No New Taxes” Taxpayer Protection Pledge;
• Will fight to lower taxes, reduce the deficit, and cut wasteful Washington spending;
• Is Pro-¬life, unlike her liberal opponents, Barbara Boxer and Tom Campbell;
• Opposes Barbara Boxer’s Cap-and-Trade legislation;
• Opposes the radical “government takeover” policies that President Obama and Barbara Boxer support for health care and other sectors of the economy; and
• Supports a tough national security policy that prosecutes terrorists as unlawful enemy combatants before military commissions, not as civilians in our federal courts.

Democrats fear Carly more than any other candidate in the Republican primary. That’s why Barbara Boxer has been using Carly’s name in fundraising letters for nearly two years, while the California Democratic Party employs two full-time staffers to follow Carly around the state, and why numerous union-funded groups have launched independent expenditure efforts attacking her.

Carly Fiorina worked her way through undergraduate and graduate school, majoring in medieval history at Stanford University and earning two graduate business degrees from the University of Maryland and MIT. A self-made woman, Carly started her business career as a secretary and went on to become the first and, to date, the only woman to lead a Fortune 20 company, serving as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Hewlett-Packard Company. Most recently, Carly served on the Defense Business Board advising the U.S. Secretary of Defense on overall management of the department and as Director of Business Executives for National Security.

As conservative leaders in the United States Senate, we know you can count on the principled leadership of Carly Fiorina. We are confident that she will stand with us and stand up for you against the liberal special interests that have kept Barbara Boxer in Washington for almost 28 years.

This is a golden opportunity for the people of the Golden State to come together to elect Carly to represent them in the United States Senate. Please join us in supporting Carly’s campaign.

Sincerely,

TOM COBURN, M.D.
U.S. Senator (R-OK)

JAMES INHOFE
U.S. Senator (R-OK)

JON KYL
U.S. Senator (R-AZ)

"we must reject the "the party of no" and the idea that compromise is a dirty word"

Let me ask Ms. Todd-Whitman a question.
If a sexual predator was stalking your minor daughter or granddaughter, how far would you be willing to go in compromising with him? Yes, compromise is a dirty word, when you're compromising with a Democratic Party that continues to molest and rape the 47% of the people of this nation who are the ONLY ONES paying taxes, you ignorant witch.

“During the campaign for U.S. Senate in 2000, Campbell touted his 100 percent pro-choice voting record. He opposed a ban on “partial birth’ abortions, one of the most horrific abortion practices. (”Conservatives Agonize Backing Campbell,” Roll Call, August 7, 2000.)

Campbell in 1992 made abortion the center stage of his campaign. In the 1992 election, Campbell’s TV ad ran with the following caption: “For choice, for jobs, for U.S. Senate.” In another ad, he said, “I’m pro-choice and one of the most conservative members of Congress when it comes to spending.”In a Republican debate, he described his abortion views, as good for voters “looking for someone who is willing to break with the party line from time to time.” (Gerry Braun, “Herschensohn Won’t Pledge to Back GOP Pick; Senate Opponents Renew Acrimony in Last Debate,” San Diego Union Tribune, June 1, 1992.)

Herschensohn, for his part, described Campbell exactly as he is during that debate: “I don’t believe a Republican has to pass a litmus test, (but) I feel that Tom Campbell is so far away from the Republican umbrella that it would be easier to run against a Democrat. . .

Sarah has been taking heat for her Carly endorsement and yes Carly is far from what most of us would want but that poll you posted shows why she did what she did. I took heat for saying that Campbell can win and he can draw a lot of Indies who are tired of Boxer but won’t go full bore Conservative.

Carly aso has the means to make it a race and if people want to vote idealistically then vote your conscience and I can’t fault that but the reality is that this is a 2 person race to face Boxer.

[Lancey Howard]

LOL, thanks, Christie!
This endorsement should be the kiss of death for that liberal scumbag Campbell.

Well, hell, let's just return the favor!

The Tea Party is rapidly turning into the RiNO Safari Posse!

"Bring me back the horn of Christie Whitman!!!"

[lentulusgracchus]

My takeaway from your post is that there is something like 30 points of undecideds out, of whom all but maybe 5% will commit by the primary day, right?

So why is DeVore supposed to throw in the towel and shut social conservatives out 100%, so they can feel okay about staying home for the general?

[lentulusgracchus]

.....but the reality is that this is a 2 person race to face Boxer.

Yeah, it's always about "settling", for the conservatives, isn't it? It's always about the RiNO's, and well, too bad, but thanks for coming.

If you're not willing to vote for conservatives in the primary ....... then just when did you think you're supposed to get a chance to have a say about anything?

Put another way, how many of Fiorina's votes are people who listen to RiNO lies and believe them?

That's the survey that really needs to be taken.

[SFConservative]

You have to bend the trend in an achievable way. If we run Fiorina or DeVore today against Boxer, given the liberal media and numb-nut voter base, the result would be "a chance for Fiorina" or "a certain defeat for DeVore".

It's a long-term thing. I will vote for Fiorina today to have the possibility of voting for someone with DeVore's perspective 6 years from now, and I hope it would in fact be DeVore.
