Carly Fiorina (R) on Thursday announced the endorsements of eight Republican senators for her just-launched California Senate campaign.

After primary opponent Chuck DeVore annonced the backing of Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) this week, Fiorina fought back with Sens. Tom Coburn (Okla.), Susan Collins (Maine), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Jon Kyl (Ariz.), John McCain (Ariz.), Mitch McConnell (Ky.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Olympia Snowe (Maine).

Sounds like she should running on the ‘rat side.

[altair]

She should be.

[B.O. Plenty]

Sigh......

.....Tom Coburn???WTF???....in with a bunch of DIABLOS?...

....Sigh

[ruination]

Another Club-For-Growth-at-all-costs cretin. Now even worse than I’d expected.

[rbbeachkid]

That, in and of itself, should be all we need to know.

[noiseman]

I appreciate her so publicly accepting the RINO stamp of approval. Saves us a lot of time figuring her out.

.....Tom Coburn???WTF???....in with a bunch of DIABLOS?...

An obstetrician in with a bunch of pro-abortion leftists. He of all people should know better.

[Wonder Warthog]

Those endorsements are NOT a recommendation, if anything they prove why she is a BAD choice.

“Sounds like she should running on the ‘rat side.”

She is. The ‘rat’ side of the Republican party...every one of those names she listed needs thrown out of the party on their collective azzes.

[Drill Thrawl]

A herd of RINO’s. Nice of them to self identify.

[NormsRevenge]

Mighty nice of the eight to identify themselves. Yup, real nice.

[traditional1]

Sounds awfully like this may be like Scuzzyfuzzy in NY-23, where a true RINO is facing a Conservative's challenge, and the Party folks back the loser....

Stay tuned. With the Olympia-Lindsey-McClame-etc. RINO's endorsements, it's obvious to me who is the more Conservative candidate here.

Carly Fiorina is a checked pants Republican and I will root for her opponent in the primary. However, she is still leagues above that American hating trash Barbara Boxer will support her should she win the primary.

[truthguy]

Look I don't know a great deal about Fiorina or DeVore. I just know that we can't screw this one up. I know the typical FR types will be out knocking Fiorina as a RINO. These types would cut their noses off to spite their faces.

In a perfect world, I would always like to have the true blue 100% bona fide, certified conservative. But we don't and this is California. We will have millions of idiots voting. We MUST get rid of the despicable, horrible, idiotic Barbara Boxer. She has done enough damage already. So I don't care who the nomoniee is as long as we win this one. We can elect more conservative Senators in the other states.

Snow White and the seven dwarves? This is a RINO all-stars list. But I too am perplexed by my favorite Senator Coburn doing this ... maybe I'll have to make DeMint my fave.

[Parley Baer]

I got an email from McQueeq to support her. No way in the primaries. Devore it is. This will be royal battle between Conservatism and RINO. Apparently Fiorina has a lot of money behind her so it will take a herculean effort for Devore to win the nomination.

[paul51]

Snowe, Collins, Graham, McCain

That makes it easy for me. DeVore has my vote

[altair]

However, she is still leagues above that American hating trash Barbara Boxer

You are mistaken. Google "Fiorina pretexting". It's a tossup which of them is more evil.

[Secret Agent Man]

Great, we now know for sure which 8 to get rid of. Already knew most of them.
