Palin is trying to get Republicans elected. It's not about who is the better candidate it's about electing Republicans to Sarah.

I had people arguing with me against bouncing Babs with a less than ideal candidate on a thread yesterday. I get that point so to each his own.

I support Carly. On the issues most important to me, she is pro-life and she is in favor of limited government, tax relief and responsible spending policies. She is also the candidate most likely to defeat Boxer.

While there is no question that Campbell is intelligent, he is too liberal and is a lifetime politician/professor. He would not be able to hold the conservative base here in California, and he would not be able to cut into Boxer's base, which consists largely of unions, minorities, doctrinaire liberals, and women.

With regard to Chuck Devore, he would hold the base but would be unable to attract many customary Boxer voters. He would also not be as attractive as Carly to independent voters, who form a steadily increasing percentage of the electorate here. Also, his attempts to discredit Carly as a RINO are misleading and the last refuge of a desparate man.

If it’s about getting Democrat Barbara Bowwow out of the Senate, even if it means replacing her with a RINO placeholder (that would be my best possible assessment of Fiorina), I would consider it somewhat understandable.

That is the # 1 problem with republicans and the republican party. We are the stupid party for a reason. We expect extreme conservative from the 2nd most liberal state in the union. A state that sends kids home for wearing and American flag on their shirts. A state with 10 + million in LA county and millions more in the SF bay area that are one bread of Rat or another. But the list of conservative states that have 'bring home the bacon' far left socialist rats that vote for every liberal thing like death care that comes along is LONG. We complain about Ca but give the following states with the listed rats a pass. Unbelievable! But I come across them on here all the time. Clueless I am afraid and it will be the end of the republic.
