DeVore BUMP
Let’s give the guy some money.

Stand Up, Chuck!
We need to spend our money where it will be effective. Does DeVore have any chance against Boxer if he has money?
california will democrate until the last baby boomer dies.
The left has SoryAzz and others to cover commie needs
one way or the other
Until the nomination is in the bag it is hard to support someone at this point. Polls show that she could be venerable with the right candidate. People aren’t in love with Barbara Boxer but they aren’t in love with anyone else either which is why incumbents so often win.
There is another potential opponent for her though I think DeVore is more conservative.
Fiorina ‘seriously considering’ challenging Sen. Barbara Boxer

Anywhere an incumbent has to face a legitimate challenger and answer for their actions is the right place to spend money. Unchallenged or barely challenged candidates will never be replaced by the voters.

Incumbents are left with treasure chests that just grow and grow as they stay in office, By rights they should turn all money not spent on the campaign over to the IRS, but they ar not required to do so, In fact when they retire they camn takes these millions with them.
hard to beat an old incumbent with tons of money in their war chest.
A: Nope!
GIVE!

YES!
And he'd be an excellent Senator, IMO.
Fiorina doesn’t have a chance, IMO.
Why folks keep trying to push her amazes me.
RAT incumbents don’t lose 9 out of 10. It’s time to end this “democracy” charade.
It would be great if Boxer could be retired.
