Former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin's endorsement of Carly Fiorina in California's Senate race has prompted a fervent blowback on her Facebook page, long Palin's safe haven for delivering her message.
The revolt is coming from Palin supporters who also back Chuck DeVore – a tea party favorite who is campaigning against Fiorina in the Republican primary.
Palin’s Facebook page is littered with comments opposing her endorsement of Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett Packard.
“The only REAL CONSERVATIVE is Chuck DeVore. Fiorina is a RINO and we don't need any more of those in [California],” one irate commenter wrote. “Why wouldn't you back Chuck DeVore???”
The impassioned revolt from some of her most faithful supporters prompted Palin to update her post to “add a few things about my Carly endorsement because some reaction right out of the chute calls for more information.”
In her original post, Palin made no mention of Fiorina’s social views, but in the update Palin touted the former CEO’s opposition to abortion rights.
“Carly has been endorsed by the National Right to Life, the California Pro-Life Council, and the Susan B. Anthony List,” Palin wrote of Fiorina. “She is pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, pro-military, and pro-strict border security and against amnesty.”
“Carly is also a strong supporter of the Second Amendment,” she added. “Like me, she is a member of the NRA, has a 100% NRA rating, and she and her husband are gun owners. She is pro-energy development and believes as I do in an all-of-the-above approach to energy independence. She is against cap and tax. And most importantly, Carly is the only conservative in the race who can beat Barbara Boxer.”

Your sarcasm is wimpy and childish and screams of jealousy. Very unbecoming.
“Um, yeah, my bro-in-law lives and works in Singapore.”
I wasn’t talking about where he worked......I was talking about the Industry he works in.... Silicon Valley companies are very liberal leaning......But you knew that....LOLOLOLOL
I like comic relief.....
“I may end up bypassing the primary, and vote for whoever the GOP candidate is in the general.’
The primary is where the battle for the soul of your party occurs, and it may be the most important election....why miss it?
No one is entilted to a job. CEO’s have responsibility to the health of the comppany.
Palin is showing her true OP(formerly the GOP) colors and losing support as a result.
Pls xcus the spling I r an giner.
I have to say Chuck Devore is better then Carly. There is a reason even George Will likes him. I guess I disagree with Palin on this one. I don’t know what Palin is up too. Carly has done and said things that are questionable.

I’m not from the state, but Chuck is worth support.
Your attempts at sarcasm are misdirected....
I respect her contributions but I would not sleep better at night knowing she was in the WH. Well, if it was between her and the current occupant then maybe a touch better but not much.
AOk and sorry.
Anybody to the right of Boxer has to be an improvement.
