This was posted online, its someone that works with Sarah Palin very closely..it gives a better understanding as to why she chose Fiorina..
Here’s what people should keep in mind:
All of this is about November. The governor made a serious and careful decision here. Campbell is a dangerous man, and if we don’t get behind Carly, Campbell will win the nomination. DeVore had plenty of time to gain traction in the polls, but he could never get over 13%. He can’t win, but he can selfishly play the spoiler.
Campbell is seriously frightening. He took donations from a convicted terrorist. He’s rabidly anti-Israel. That’s the only real difference between him and Boxer! I kid you not. Boxer is at least pro-Israel. He’s worst than Boxer and DeVore supporters are throwing the nomination to him. So that’s why this is an important endorsement and an important race. You want to condemn Sarah Palin for endorsing a conservative who can beat Barbara Boxer instead of sitting it out and watching a dangerous RINO win the nomination? Go ahead, but don’t whine about six more years of Boxer or six years of someone worse than Boxer.
So, what is the justification for choosing McAmnesty over Hayworth?
This makes sense to me. Why bet on a horse that’s gonna lose?
That is pretty much what I thought her reasoning would be...there’s a point where ideological purity means giving the election to the other side...and she went for the half full glass instead of what would result in an empty glass. Sometimes, that’s the real choice in politics, sad but true. People may not like it, but reality bites sometimes.
You’re right. The more I read about Campbell, lets everyone know this guy is hard left Democrat masquerading as a Republican.
The question is why didn’t Palin endorse DeVore — who is clearly the more Conservative candidate — a month ago in Searchlight ? The idea that DeVore doesn’t have the money to run is an excuse.
If Palin had stumped for him, and held fundraisers for him, he WOULD have the money by now to have competed with Fiorina and Campbell in the TV ad race. Then where would the polls stand ?

Once again...Sarah is the Rhino. First with McCain. Now she is pushing the lesser of two evils argument that got us in this mess in the first place.
Your point is well made.
Sorry, but fear of “the other guy” has put enough RINOs into office, and cost the conservative ideals plenty over the years. I’d rather have an enemy I know to watch, than an enemy who pretends to be my friend.
Carly is a disaster! No way I’d endorce or back her... The days of the “at least XXX is better than YYY” argument by the RNC to push leftist republicans working are OVER.
I’d rather lose a seat than have someone win a seat that can’t be depended on when things matter. RINO’s and leftist republicans have screwed the party and conservatives over more than enough. No more.
Sarah, I gave you a pass on McCain out of the Loyalty rationale, there is absolutely NO EXCUSE for this one.
please don’t use facts to make an argument it will spoil the screaming by those who would rather go down in flames than beat Boxer. Campbell is the worst of all worlds - a convicted, by his actions, self centered man taking money from anyone that will allow him to get it.
I am not a big fan of Carly, far from it, but I understand Sara’s reasons. Carly would be MUCH better then Boxer and this is California after all. The Palin haters will be out in force, not much can be done about that. Leaders make hard decisions and hard decisions are no fun.
I agree, DeVore has made himself a joke.
He has done an abysmally poor job campaigning, and we do need to fear Campbell. Fiorina may not be a conservative BarbieDoll, but she can win, and she supports the important stuff that Campbell doesn’t. Most important is that she can cancell Boxer’s talking points by the numbers.
Its really too bad that we can’t seem to find Christian candidates that know how to campaign in California.
