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.
Palins 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???
Sorry Sarah but I think Chuck DeVore is the conservative candidate you should be supporting, added another, who was followed up by a DeVore supporter who wrote: I don't agree with this endorsement AT ALL! What are you thinking Sarah?

Gee. Are you saying Palin doesn’t really care about fiscal conservatism ? Because if she did, it would seem logical to endorse and stump for the most fiscally conservative candidate in the race.
Campbell is worst then Boxer. Devore has not been able to get anymore than 13% of the vote. Campbell has to be stopped.
Palin is supporting McCain over a real conservative, JD Hayworth. McCain supports much of the Obama agenda. He voted for TARP, is against drilling in ANWR, and supports amnesty and cap and trade. Once reelected, Maverick McCain returns to his old ways.
I’m sorry but this post is about Devore and not Hayworth.
You’re the one who suggested she should volunteer her time and spend her political capital as you saw fit. I didn’t make any claims.
Yes... You will get who you vote for! Not the beliefs or agenda, but you will win...
BS. Can you cite how he would be worse than the most liberal senator in Congress? Would he caucus with the Dems?
So you stump for the loser that has not been able to get anymore than 13% of the vote. That makes a lot of sense.
First you are wrong about your own poll and second, that three week old poll doesn't show much difference between Fiorina and Campbell against Boxer.
"Incumbent Democrat Barbara Boxer now receives no more than 43% support against any of her top three GOP opponents in her reelection bid for U.S. Senate in California"
Sorry, but somebody is going to have to help me out here:
I’ve heard several people say that DeVore is down and doesn’t have a chance to win, that’s why Palin is supporting the female RINO.
Um, isn’t this why Palin would want to endorse this conservative...to help elevate him in the polls?
Also, how does Palin’s continued support of RINOs jive with her oft touted “common sense conservatism”, and “standing on principles?”
Sorry, Sarah is showing several lapses in not only judgment, but conservative principle!
It is beyond sickening to watch people on our side defend her at all costs! This is no different than the Obamabots!
See the sales pitch shattered in post 170.
Do you really think you’re telling me anything new? Again, Sarah can spend her political capital anyway she pleases and those who take umbrage, can do as they please.
Sarah also supports Arizona Governor Jan Brewer and Arizona’s legislation. Is that news to you?
Schwarzenegger is no Chris Christie but the fact remains that the legislature is corrupt to the core.
Same as New York.
It’s systemic and will take a long time to change, if ever.
People vote with their butts instead of their brains.
Talk of greedy bankers makes me laugh. The people are the greedy ones, always believing in the free lunch.
“...vote for her because she can win and will make life difficult for the Obama and his Democrat minions”
What makes you think so ?? Fiorina is going to be another “reach across the aisle”, “bipartisan”, Dim in GOP clothing.
We voted McCain because of his opponent.
Same with California right now. The dem is evil.
You cannot create a winner out of someone who's campaign never took off, someone that has always stayed about 20 points behind, even wishing can't make something out of nothing 4 weeks before an election.
Eventually the invasion of Freepers by the Socialists will be the doom
of us all, including America.
Palin is the Enemy of the left, and I don't trust any story.
Divide and conquer..
kabar is trolling.
The man took donations from a convicted terrorist. He’s against Israel. Yes, he would vote with the dems.
