Fiorina: I didn't vote for Campbell or DiFi

California Senate candidate Carly Fiorina said Tuesday she did not vote for former Rep. Tom Campbell in his 2000 Senate race against Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, an assertion her opponents seized on to question her loyalty to the GOP.

Fiorina's comments came during a contentious portion of a radio debate where the three GOP candidates vying to challenge Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer posed questions to each other.

After Fiorina said she didn't vote for Campbell in a contest he lost by more than 2 million votes, she quickly added, "I didn't vote for Dianne Feinstein either."

Conservative state Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, who Fiorina dismissed as a candidate "dog paddling at 14 percent in the polls," noted he voted for Campbell.

There is little difference between Boxer and this failed CEO.

Carly: “Sen. Feinstein has been a fine senator for the state of California, and has accomplished a great deal. I would describe her as a pragmatic problem-solver,” Fiorina told Chronicle reporters and editors during an interview with the newspaper’s editorial board. “I admire her, I respect her. I like her. I think and I hope she would say the same about me.”

Dogpaddling is not calling Mr. DeVore a dog. People do the dogpaddle. Geez. Do Mr. DeVore a favor and don’t post silly things like this.

I have issues with Carley, but to say she called Devore a dog is intellectual dishonesty.

I think the OP is trying to make a point about the fake outrage claiming that DeVore called Palin a sheep.

Calling someone a “dog” at a debate is stupid. It makes her sound stupid.

iCarly should drop out and go home and find another company to mismanage.

So it’s OK for DeVore to vote for Campbell in 2000, but not OK for Fiorina to support a measure to overturn Prop 13?

The Statist and her allies are desperate and are engaging in a full court press.

This morning she got Dennis Prager to endorse her.

I predicted it last week. Here’s the post. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2515455/posts?page=25#25

Hot Air Goes Wobbly

Now that Hot Air is owned by Salem Broadcasting, I expect this to be only the beginning. Their talkshow hosts will next jump ship one at a time. Medved led the McCain backing campaign, so maybe this time they’ll let Bennett do it. Before the day of the primary, I expect more of Salem hosts will back Fiorina than not. It may well be all of them. Do not trust Salem Broadcasting.

To tell you the truth, the last person I expected was Dennis Prager. However, ever since he messed his pants back when he fell hook line and sinker for the TARP fear-mongering, his alleged moral clarity has become fictional.

Go Devore Go.

Defeat the Statist drumbeat that wants you to give up.
Never, never, never give up!

Vote DeVore!!!!
