Open Letter to Carly Fiorina: Please Quit and Support Chuck DeVore
Posted on 15 May 2010 by admin Share

I am offering an open, heartfelt letter to Carly Fiorina, GOP candidate for U.S. Senate in California. I hope many people will send it to her and she will take this advice. I give this advice, as someone not paid for this commentary by any individual or by any campaign, though I do support Chuck DeVore. I write this to you Carly, because I am your age, I have been covering politics since the late 1970s and I have seen a lot of candidates waste money and go down in flames because they refuse to accept reality. I also, like you, care about California, and care deeply about getting this country back.

—-

Carly, it is time to bow out of the Senate race. Your campaign is over. You will not win this fall if you are the nominee, for reasons I will explain below. If you split the conservative vote in the primary vote June 8, you will personally be responsible, through your own hubris, for enabling Tom Campbell to become the nominee to run against Barbara Boxer. Tom Campbell lost by 20 points in 2000 to Senator Diane Feinstein, one of the biggest margins of loss ever in a California statewide race. He will lose again, due to his support of tax increases and troubling ties to terrorist organizations. If you or Campbell are the nominee, Barbara Boxer will be our Senator again for six years. It will be your fault, Carly.

I cannot adequately express in words the spiritual and political significance of beating the arrogant, divisive, pro-abortion, pro-cap-and-trade, anti-military, elitist diva Senator Barbara (“Don’t Call me Ma’am”) Boxer. Retiring her is important to the future of this country and will be an overwhelming national emotional boost. It is my mission.

If you step aside now, and get behind full-steam with Chuck DeVore, you will be admired as a “unifier.” You will have a marvelous future ahead of you in some other race some other time soon. Now is not the time to waste any more of your own money on a disastrous course. You can come out of this way ahead, Carly, by stepping gracefully and graciously aside.

This race is too important to be lost because of ego and consultants who goad you to continue. The people you pay to help you do not care about you, the state of California, or what is best for this country. You are their paycheck and they will tell you to continue out of their own selfish reasons.

There are columnists nationwide standing by who will happily support you an another endeavor in the future. Trust me.

Search your heart, Carly, and decide soon. Your decision to unify conservatives in California will be a fatal blow to the Democratic party and will possibly impact the governor’s race and other races in a very positive way. Your decision to unify the California GOP conservatives and independents will show other candidates in other states a formula for taking back Congress this fall. Your decision to continue in this race will ensure that Barbara Boxer is our Senator for six more years. Don’t let that happen.

Here are the reasons why to stop your campaign now and get behind Chuck DeVore:

1. Friday’s Rasmussen poll shows conservative Chuck DeVore trending up in all categories. You are hemorrhaging support. Your ” very unfavorable” ratings are now at 21%. Chuck’s are at 12%. The poll show Chuck is now more likely to beat Boxer than you are.

2. Friday’s California Tea Party poll shows DeVore now has the support of 54% of the 10,000 tea party members surveyed by email. You just appeared at the Tea Party Day protest in Pleasanton April 15. Obviously, you have had a chance, but are not “selling” well with the tea party movement.

3. Sarah Palin’s endorsement of you last week served to alienate voters against you and Sarah. The subsequent Sarah Palin PAC paid-bloggingthat was done by dozens of Palin PAC websites in your behalf and against Chuck DeVore apparently tried to create a false “grassroots” approval. Instead, it was seen as a “negative” “astro-turf” type of campaigning that is distasteful to many of the tea party volunteers. Ms. Palin’s Facebook website, where she made the endorsement, has received thousands of negative comments. It is not a good thing to be attempting to undermine another tea party pro-life conservative, when you are claiming to be one. Chuck DeVore’s credentials have no blemish.

4. UNCOVERAGE.net reported last weekend that your campaign’s attorney, Charles Bell, (who is also the attorney for the California Republican party and has been involved with the National Republican Senatorial Committee) formed a 527 political action committee called “California Citizens for Ethics in Government.” As my investigation showed, the committee purported to be an “independent citizens group” and wrote letters to the California Attorney General Jerry Brown and the Federal Elections commission, asking that Chuck DeVore be charged with election fraud, because his campaign volunteers work in his state office. It may, in fact, be a violation of campaign laws for Mr. Bell to be serving you and the GOP and making phony allegations through a shill organization. That will be for someone else to decide.

At the very least, this type of campaign tactic against a fellow Republican is not ethical and should be condemned by you and your organization. This was a clumsy cloak-and-dagger attempt to discredit Chuck DeVore in the waning weeks of the campaign. Instead it was found out by me and called out. Shame on all involved for their failure to apologize to Chuck DeVore.

5. There is a civil and criminal investigation of Hewlett Packard for allegations of bribery in Russia and Germany during the time that you were CEO at Hewlett Packard. Three employees of HP have been arrested and searches have been conducted in offices abroad. These probes have just begun and to some extent, are being controlled by the Obama administration via the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Attorney General. If you are running in the general election this fall, these investigations will no doubt “produce fruit” which will doom your candidacy and ensure the re-election of Barbara Boxer. It will not matter if the charges are later proven false or that you did nothing wrong. You will be tainted in time to affect the election. Denying that you have this “baggage” is to deny political reality and shows hubris.

6. You are, essentially, out of money now. You have already put in $2.5 million of your own funds. You have just announced you are putting in another $1 million for the next two weeks of media ads. I strongly urge you to resist your consultants who are counseling this waste of resources. You are being used in this race because you have your own money. They are showing poor stewardship of your money on such things as the “Demon Sheep” ad.

7. You have admitted publicly that you were “recruited” by the National Republican Senatorial Committee to run for Senate in California. This group has been responsible for the disastrous outcomes with John McCain 2008, Charlie Crist in Florida and Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania, to name just a few. These people, are “carpet-baggers” who have no interest in what is best for California and who is best suited to win a race. They have a proven losing record.

8. We are all very supportive of your recent heroic battle with breast cancer. In all honesty, there have been “whispered” concerns about your health right now and your prospects for good health in the future. This is a delicate way of saying that this race, this Senate seat, is too important to risk and perhaps you should take care of yourself.

9. The Democratic party and the Boxer campaign have already begun circulating the campaign “talking points” against you. There are many links, but the most exhaustive and conclusive one is by the liberal media critic, Media Matters. It exhaustively lists the inconsistencies in your positions, the 18,000 people you laid off from HP, your hypocrisy about the pro-life movement, immigration, and regulating the internet. The Media Matters list against you is copied in full below. These will be used against you and you will lose to Barbara Boxer. It is too much.

Chuck DeVore does not have any of this kind of negative baggage. Please support him. It is clear now from the polls and the facts that he has the best chance to beat Barbara Boxer.


Very truly,

Because there are three running....not two. The third guy is Chuck DeVore....a legitimate conservative which both Campbell and “Carly” are not.....but pretend to be.

Well this is CA so this means the Duncan Hunter “my candidate is the only conservative” crowd will be loud.
