Carly to Media: Chuck DeVore Who?
SFGate.com ^ | 11/7/09 | Joe Garofoli

Posted on 11/07/2009 9:43:59 AM PST by NormsRevenge

Carla Fiorina's been (officially) on the campaign trail for, what, three days and it's like she's already wearing the GOP Senate crown. Boxer, Boxer, Boxer, Boxer, Boxer. That's the only opponent she can talk about.

Hey Carly, where's the respect for Chuck D from the OC, aka her GOP primary opponent Orange County Assemblyman Chuck DeVore? At her Pleasanton stop Friday, C-Fi was asked why she keeps talking about Boxer and not Chuck:

"She is the opponent," Carly said and laughed.

Uh, perhaps -- if you win the GOP primary in June. ..

...

Carly's staff must have hid the last Field Poll from her. That's the one where she dropped 10 points in six months in her match-up with DeVore and is now in a virtual dead heat (21 for her, 20 for him) in the latest go-round.

She’s a good example of the problem. I wouldn’t do it, but Republicans like her make me want to vote Democrat just to send a message to the RNC that RINOs lose BIG TIME.

My experience at HP under Carly was not good. No way could I vote for her.

Why do you want money spent on DeVore attack ads? That doesn’t make sense to me.

Why do people like her run for office?

*****************************************
Thanks to our award-winning muslim Kenya born illegal alien president Barry Soetoro, the Conservative base, the Silenced Majority, is energized and chomping at the bit waiting for 2010. NJ and VA are the appetizers for the main course, which is the overthrow of Barbara Boxer in 2010. And the base will want nothing to do with RINOs like Carly.

For one, ego. It's another trophy to put on her mantle.

Secondly, and more importantly, the power elite need a rich puppet, and a rich puppet with a vagina is more intriguing from a sales point of view. Of course the product is shallow, but packaging is what they hope can sell (fool) the people.

1-Focusing on Boxer is a very smart campaign move.
2-Carly is a very good example of we conservatives having to accept the political reality, that she’s the only candidate that can beat Boxer.
3-If this upsets you, show me Chuck’s numbers....

Carly is a vacuous, stuffed-suit fascist RINO.

Better a worthless, scumbag Democrat than her.

In a primary, I would rather that the various candidates from my party focus in on the opposite party and not vilify each other. When people from the same party demonize each other, it only serves to give ammo to the opposition.

I don’t know much about these two, I am not in a position to vote for either, but I would rather hear why Boxer should be defeated and why Candidate A or B would be best to defeat her and represent those constituents.

3-If this upsets you, show me Chuck’s numbers....

Chuck, of course, has no numbers - he's the typical white male social conservative that Team Boxer has had no problem walking all over in previous elections - appealing to Orange County and nowhere else. They'll find out he visited a strip club once in his thirties, declare him a hypocrite, and win by twenty points. Find a Hispanic woman with the same political views as Chuck and she might have a chance.

Carly Fiorina is not someone I particularly want to see in the Senate, but at least she might make Boxer work a little bit harder this year.

No she can't. Boxer will mop the floor with this clown. Chuck DeVore is (-9%) vs Boxer while the better known Carly Fiorina is (-10%) behind Boxer.

DeVore's numbers climb as people get to know him, and the Fiorina's numbers are dropping as people get to know her.

Yes a “Tea-Partyer”.
And a political realist.

Do you want Boxer out or not?

I don’t like the woman at all but personally I think she is being smart by this tactic. Leave the republican alone and hit the Liberal Dem in the butt. The voter will settle the republican question. Besides that, what could she say about the Republican but do mud slinging and voters are tired of that.

She’ll never survive the primary, no pun intended.

I support getting Boxer out.

Show me the evidence that Chuck can do that funny boy.
