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 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.

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.

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!

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.

I also wish Sarah had backed DeVore, but for him to go after her like this is stupid.

Another spot on post with reality to this campaign.

Also, DeVore again goes into child like mode.
Proves he is not Senator material.
We are dealing with life and death issues and don’t
want a child in that position.

DeVore has gone into Palin bashing mode and
another 4 year old moment.

Just why he isn’t Senator material
