We can beat Boxer! Whomever we select to run for this seat, we need to all come behind that candidate and support them. I smell victory.

I wouldn’t trust the Murky News for any endorsement. Their record is so leftist and agenda so obvious.

Who the heck cares avout civility and bipartisanship? I’m only interested in principled conservatives.

And if the government-run media endorse him you know this man is a genuine RINO—or worse.

You would vote for Barbara Boxer? There aren't any circumstances where that would be acceptable.

You will NEVER have more sway over Boxer than you will over a Republican -- even a RINO. Republicans still have to go through a partisan primary to get reelected.

"Spite voting" might make you feel powerful, but it's not good for the rest of us who are trying to convince politicians that they need to listen to us, and it's not good for the country.

“by voting for someone that can beat him, i.e. Boxer.”

Sad

If we all had that view the rats would have a super majority to continue to pass bills like death care.

DeVore in the primaries and ANYONE except the witch evil death care voting FAR left commie rat Boxer.

Key things about Campbell: Pro-abortion Pro-gay “marriage” NO, THANKS!

As they say about the RINO twins up in Maine, maybe that is what the GOP has to live with in a state as blue as California.

You go it right.
Ca is a deep deep deep deep blue state. Unlike most other states we have the ‘super city’ of LA county with 10 + million and the bay are with millions more .... and they are not conservative. Most of Ca by area is conservative, but we do not have the votes.

It is FAR LEFT COMMIE DEATH CARE VOTING RAT vs RINO.

Things may change one day but that day is not today.

I wish someone other than me would start to question why dark red conservative states keep electing FAR LEFT COMMIE DEATH CARE VOTING RAT and leave the RINO’s in deep blue states out of it.

I vote for the most (best) conservative in the primary and against the FAR LEFT COMMIE DEATH CARE VOTING RAT in the general.

It’s not “spite voting.” Campbell is worse than a RINO. He is a pro-Islamist in Republican clothing. You can google away. Jennifer Rubin has done some good research, among others. There are FR threads...

I will vote DeVore in the primary. Campbell is as dangerous as several of Obama’s czars. I want him defeated in the general.

While the poll is good news for Republicans in a state dominated by Democrats, the three Senate GOP contenders are largely unknown to most Californians. Fifty-nine percent said they had no opinion of Campbell, compared to 58 percent for Fiorina and 78 percent for DeVore.

As a result, DiCamillo said, the close race has more to do with Boxer's unpopularity than with the popularity of the GOP challengers.

"I could have put your name against Boxer, and you'd have gotten half the votes," DiCamillo said. "It's really not about the candidates themselves."

What to do. What to do?

I do think Campbell could beat Boxer, handily. Boxer is an idiot. I'm not sure about Fiorina or DeVore when it comes time for the general election.

DeVore could tout his strong anti-government spending credentials and ask, "Are Californian's better off with Boxer?"

Fiorina is still an unknown to me.

Sorry, I think you’re a fool for voting for someone who will never listen to you or value your vote.

Pro-abortion Pro-gay “marriage”

My reasons, too, for not voting for Tom Campbell.

Like Campbell?

Wake up fools, Campbell is an enemy of Israel and Western civilization. Do the research yourself.

I personally only care about picking someone who can beat BOXER— that should be the focus, especially in a leftist state like California.

I think Fiorina has the best chance of beating Boxer. On FoxNews is saw a discussion a couple of days ago, that if a Republican could beat Boxer, that would be a real slap in the face for the Dems.

“They’ll endorse Campbell now but will savage him if he wins the primary just like the NY Times did to McCain”

OF course — people need to remember that the MSM is no friend of the Republicans, quite the contrary.

“If civility and bipartisanship really are important to voters, Campbell ought to have the upper hand...”

Since I value neither attribute, Campbell does not get my vote.

“Fiorina is still an unknown to me.”

She ran HP, so she has executive experience, she is running as a Republican againsts Boxer, she is a woman, I think she has the best chance of beating Boxer. Beating Boxer would send bigger shockwave to the Dems than election of Scott Brown in MA.

My personal opinion is that the focus should be in the CA Republican primary is to vote for the person with the best chance of beating Boxer. Considering the bluest of blue color of CA, I think “voting for the most conservative candidate in the primary” would either nominate a conservative or the weaker R candidate, which would just ensure a win by Boxer — and this actually affects all of the US, because the more Dems in the Senate, the less impact Republicans have.

And “gentlemanly demeanor” is just as bad. I want a no holds barred, brass knuckled fighter who will stand firmly on principle, repeal the Obamanation agenda, and restore freedom and liberty to our fair land. Not a “gentlemanly” pantywaist.
