Way back in November, right after announcing her bid for the U.S. Senate in California, Republican candidate and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina told conservatives in Washington that she "shared Sarah Palin's values." Today, Palin returns the favor.
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. 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.
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."
UPDATE: DeVore spokesman Joshua Trevino reacts:
Sarah Palin's endorsement brings with it tremendous media attention, but not necessarily votes. Conservative activists in California know and like Chuck DeVore -- and that's our bottom line.
I think the best I can do is point you toward the responses from the conservative base on Palin's Facebook page, and on Twitter: there's a lot of them respectfully but firmly telling the former Governor that she's been misled here. And they're right.

They can be changed with the right people.
That’s bs. We have been trained to think RINOS are our only hope.

I wouldn’t be upset if DeVore won the primary. But he is the much larger gamble to win with very little campaign cash and little political momentum swinging his way. But wouldn’t be something if he did?
If they that candidate is a competent woman businessperson, fine - makes no difference. But has anyone looked at what Fiorina did to HP and for that matter what Whitman did at ebay?
Arnold
Do yourselves a favor, get over Sarah NOW. She tipped her hand when she decided to support one of the most dangerous men in the country for re-election, Juan the Republican Party Terminator McCain.
Despite my earlier comments, I will look at Fiorina's positions more carefully and reserve judgement.
If it comes to a choice between voting for Whitman and staying home, I'll stay home.
That won’t sit too well with the Palin Amen Chorus.
Her time at HP would seem to disqualify her. Yet she will be held up by the CRP as a successful business icon in what passes as political campaigns these days. No wonder we get surprises like Arnold. No wonder California Republicans keep losing elections.
Others have said it on here. Why do we have to go along with the RINOs? It has not worked after many, many years. Do you need any more proof. All it has done is kept the country club set in power and the rest of us cheerleading saps.
I was not dismissing anyone, only making a statement on what I viewed the reaction will be. It was actually wishful thinking that one day the base of the Republican party will come to its senses.
Palin - 2012
The other reality could be Obama, a traitor.
I so agree. I was a big Palin supporter, but now bit by bit, my enthusiasm is being chipped away.
“...stock press photo with her current salt & pepper butch lesbian haircut. ...”
She lost her hair, from chemo treatment for cancer.
“But has anyone looked at what Fiorina did to HP and for that matter what Whitman did at ebay? “
Why don’t you tell us?
I so agree. I was a big Palin supporter, but now bit by bit, my enthusiasm is being chipped away.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Like you, my enthusiasm and support didn’t leave overnight, it’s been a gradual process.
After she came out to stump for McCain recently, I said to myself, “OK, I don’t agree with this, but I’ll try and give her a pass on this because maybe she feels she owes the guy.”
Then she supports Perry, and now this Demlite lady in California. Her words about “Common Sense Conservatism” and these RINOs simply does not jive!
Those who wish to support her...fine! But don’t start labeing those of us who are raising legitimate questions about her as “Palin-Haters” or Trolls!” Lets leave this cult of personality to the Dems!
It sure would. It’s time for a big change and that is putting good people in office.
Carly is for cap and trade as well.
She also supports regulation of the internet.
