Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, the conservative Orange County Republican who began running for US Senate in November 2008, just conceded the race. Here's the prepared text of the concession speech of the man we liked to call Chuck D from the OC:
My friends,
I just completed my telephone call to Carly Fiorina, to congratulate her on her victory this evening. She is our party's nominee. I endorse her. I will support her. I will vote for her. And I call upon all of you to do the same in November.
We traveled a long road to get here. When I started this campaign many months ago, I had the support of my wife, my daughters, and my dog.
And I want to say: Diane, you've put up with me for 22 years -- through moves, deployments, children and campaigns. You are the best wife and companion I can imagine. I love you.
We started this campaign small. Today, I am sincerely humbled to have received the support of hundreds of thousands of Californians from all walks of life.
But let me remind all of you -- this campaign was never about me. It was about conservative principles. It was about our Constitution. I believe we did our honorable part in reminding California why it needs both.

Who cares?Everyone knew he was going to lose.
Tell that to Pissant.
I was proud to vote for him. He looks like a very good man, and the end of his story is not yet written.
I’ll be proud to vote against Boxer in November.
CA has been Snowed.
I hope I have another opportunity to vote for him in the not-too-distant future.
That’s an understatement. They would have gone for Ahnuld for Senate if he had ran. CAGOP is the stupid party on steroids.
That’s the way to go, America. Elect a failed CEO. Elect the failure. You are never going to get anywhere but down the toilet.
Pissant refused to listen.
Arnold at least managed to win an election.
I admire those who win. So, although Fiorina was not my 1st choice I congratulate her on her win.
You got that right. Let's hope she does for America what she did for HP and we can get this painful, slow death over much sooner. Why slow down? You got it exactly right. Just sorry you beat me to it.
You forgot to mention that she looks like a dyke.
He won an election and f*cked things 10 ways til sunday.
Last time I checked the election website he was behind Campbell also.
I’m going out on a limb here but I have no choice...
Go Carly!
Idiot!
She’s recovering from breast cancer!!!
Chemo causes the hair to fall out.
I went through serious cancer, and she does look like a dyke. Either shave it off or wear a wig, scarf, bandana, etc. Your comment does not offend me.
