Picking sides in another competitive GOP primary, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin endorsed Carly Fiorina in the California Senate race.
"Carly is the Commonsense Conservative that California needs and our country could sure use in these trying times. Most importantly, she's running for the right reasons," Palin writes in a Facebook post announcing her choice. "She has an understanding that is sorely lacking in D.C. She's not a career politician. She's a businesswoman who has run a major corporation. She knows how to really incentivize job creation. Her fiscal conservatism is rooted in real life experience. She knows that when government grows, the private sector shrinks under the burden of debt and deficits. We can trust Carly to do the right thing for America's economy and to make the principled decisions she has throughout her professional career."

She (Palin) is a dumb*ss. Forget about her. She is not qualified to recommend anyone for anything. Have you ever heard her try to give a speech? What an idiot.
Never fall in love with a politician.
To DMI:
“The idea is to throw out the Far Leftist Barbara Boxer.”
No the idea is to elect activists who will actually do something about the welfare state. RINOs are not activists they are Dem Lite
How many years have you been voting here in California and what city in CA do you live?
Yes, you are correct, Chuck Devore the candidate supported by the tea party is the strongest candidate and the only conservative.
um do you actually read where people stand:
“Fiorina, who’s struggled a bit to regain front-runner status in the primary race since former congressman Tom Campbell entered it, has collected endorsement after endorsement from national conservative groups — especially anti-abortion rights groups. The most conservative candidate in the race, Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, has been endorsed by Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and the Tea Party Express, so there you go if you’re looking for a story of “tea party infighting.””
Also i cannot find anything about the NRA endorsing Carly.
I am all for tolerating RINOs in certain states but Palins endorsement makes it sound like she is backing Carly based on conservative principles
if she was she would have backed DeVore
I am willing to tolerate RINOs in certain lefty states CA among them - anyone who can beat Boxer type of attitude
but Palin’s endorsement makes it sound like Carly is the most conservative in the race
she isnt
DeVore is
if Palin was acting on principle she would have endorsed DeVore
