"Is everyone going to start jumping ship on Coburn, Inhofe and Kyl?"

----

I've had such high regard for Coburn. I've thought he was one true conservative...one of few in either house of Congress.

But he jumped the shark a couple of weeks ago when he played kissy face with Nazi Pelosi.

It's all very sad. We're pretty much down to DeMint at this point. I'm having recurring nightmares in which he announces his support for Charlie Crist for Senate.

And Fiorina is not a career politician.

No, she's a clueless stooge for global socialist interests; pro cap-and-trade, tolerant of abortion, and pro-amnesty. DeVore can win, but only if every conservative venue in the state starts shouting it.

Is DeVore or Campbell actually electable against Boxer?

According to Rasmussen, all three poll equivalently.

I have nothing against Chuck DeVore, but he has ZERO chance of winning..ZERO..why would she endorse someone who has no shot of winning.

According to Rasmussen, DeVore and Fiorina poll evenly against Boxer. That is after all of the GOP organizational support and Fiorina's money. She has no support from the base, she's clueless in a debate, and is hated in the California tech community.

"Electable" my a$$.

The US Senate race in CA sux.

Pro-abortion Pete Wilson was the last Republican elected to one of the seats and that was in ‘82 and again in ‘88.

Both seats have remained in democrat hands ever since.

It’s tough to elect a Republican to a US Senate seat, let alone a CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN.

Maybe 2010 is the year for “change.”

Whoa...someone is a touchy.
The fact is, the endorsement is shocking, but maybe Palin is more like Mccain than anyone thought. She is endorsing a moderate rino.

I’d say that Rand Paul is a true conservative.

Maybe Palin wants to stop the pro abortion, pro gay marriage, Tom Campbell, he is breezing to a victory while some of you seem to think that this is a race between Fiorina and Devore.

"Campbell supports abortion rights and gay marriage, and argues that Boxer’s greatest asset against either of his two Republican opponents, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and state Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, would be the state’s decidedly un-conservative social views. “She has always been able to move the debate over to the social issues. She will not be able to do that against me,” Campbell told POLITICO.”

I’m a Ron Paul supporter, but I like Sarah Palin as well. If there was some way that Palin could be the Presidential candidate and Paul could be the President, that would be great. I would have preferred that Palin not endorse Fiorina, but Palin does know Fiorina, so an endorsement could be explained that way. There’s got to be a limited number of people that Palin personally knows and likes and can support on that basis. I hope Bill Kristol doesn’t run for anything. She endorses him, and that really hurts her.

As FIORINA is tied to McCAIN and S.PALIN support both of them i am wondering if there is a PALIN-McCAIN connection by which PALIN is somehow tied.
There might be a deal...But who will be owned?

Maybe McCAIN ,and RINOS with him, are trying to control the conservative movement they fear!

A good start for conservatives would be to defeat McCAIN in ARIZONA...

Its from people who never liked her to begin with..

BZZTT!! WRONG!

and the ones who have gotten SO upset about Carly Fiorina, well, the majority of these “Outraged” people don’t even live in California so they can’t even vote here anyway.

BZZTT!! WRONG!

Carly Fiorina is a proven arrogant screw-up, and is hated by those who have seen her handiwork up close. In other words, Californians. And she has left bombshell quotes - as well as actions - lying around for Boxer's team to use regarding the outsourcing of American jobs.

If Gov. Palin were savvy, she'd work behind the scenes to get DeVore to drop out gracefully once it's clear he has no shot of a comeback (in about a week), without tying the albatross of Fiorina around her neck, and angering the conservative base. This was a stupid, stupid move.

YES

Sarah said Mccain was a favorite of the TP. LOL LOL

If she thinks Mac and Carly are conservatives, she has issues.

I would say "refreshingly gutsy". Boo hoo, Palin didn't play the weasel politican game.
Thank God she doesn't come here for advice.

Remember: Governor Reagan signed an abortion bill and President Reagan signed an amnesty bill. No one in office is going to agree with you all the time!!

That is a really disingenuous statement.
