"Over 3,000 miles away, you don’t understand California politics."


Perhaps not, but I do understand a rationalization of ignoring a more conservative candidate in favor of one who is more acceptable to the GOP establishment. Rasmussen polls are generally accurate and they show that the conservative in the race has a better shot at beating Boxer. That is not my assessment, but the result of Rasmussen's poll. I could understand going with the more "electable" candidate if the actual polls showed that she really was more electable. The problem is that the polls show no such thing.

There’s hardly any difference in how the candidates would do against Boxer. The reason is that whoever runs against Boxer is really running against the Obama agenda. You’re either for it or against it. We have a good opportunity to win Boxer’s seat regardless of who wins the primary. I just don’t want the winner to be seated in the McCain/Gramnesty/Crist/Snowe/Brown caucus.

DeVore has gone into attack Palin mode and again actinng like a 4 year old.

You seem to have overlooked that this is a Republican primary, not the general election.

Palin and the rest of the California right is desperate to stop Tom Campbell first, with weeks to go, Carly has the money and the numbers to stand a good chance of doing that.

Palin can actually help some in the Carly vs Campbell battle, nothing could be done to make Devore suddenly make up a consistent 20 point deficit to knock out Campbell, but Carly has the money and position to close a 4 to 7 point gap with Palin's help, especially if Devore drops out in a week or two.
