Sarah Palin Is A Republican Who Speaks At Tea Party Events Occasionally

Many Sarah Palin devotees seem shocked that Sarah Palin endorsed Carly Fiorina for Senator. They believed Sarah Palin to be representative of the Tea Party–who all endorse Chuck DeVore.

Sarah Palin is first, a Republican.

Sarah Palin has shown loyalty to John McCain and Carly Fiorina is a friend to John. Perhaps she feels it’s only right.

Sarah Palin speaks at Tea Party events and likes certain principles, but by her own admission she does not represent the Tea Party. In fact, she arrived late to the Tea Party–it had been growing and thriving for months before her first speech at an event. She then signed on with Tea Party Express, whom many Tea Party activists view as a Republican organization (as opposed to a grassroots organization) to speak at the anchoring events.

Was it a good political move to endorse Carly Fiorina? Not for Sarah…and maybe not for Carly. This is California, after all, and Chuck DeVore has the Tea Party and serious conservative vote wrapped up. Some have speculated that this endorsement was a desperate move to shore up a failing campaign. Although, it looks like many big donors are going to move in to help Carly because they believe she has the best chance against Barbara Boxer.

Once more, I believe the establishment is wrong. First, they’re misjudging the grassroots sentiment. A Sarah Palin endorsement won’t win Carly Fiorina votes. It just won’t. And it’s condescending and tone-deaf to believe it will. Second, Carly Fiorina is not the best candidate–in the primary or the general.

Not at all confused, just not a believer in the polling system like yourself.

[repubpub]

I’m fully aware of the Palin mystique. As I wrote earlier, I too was a Palin backer. But that has faded with her ever changing political partnerships. If she’s constantly backing RINO’s, what does that say of her character?

[presently no screen name]

You exaggerate. There is NOTHING wrong w/Sarah’s character. Check your own.

[Niteflyr]

I’m from California. Boxer is an embarrassment and a complete idiot, as are those who vote for her. ABB, ANYBODY BUT BOXER sounds good to me.

Same here. I swear...some conservatives here must be so perfect in their own mind that they don't actually go to the toilet...a white dove must just come and magically take it away...because that is what they expect from their candidates.

[Kickass Conservative]

I'm a Realist first and always.

I see the postings on various Conservative sites saying there is going to be a Democrat bloodbath in November. I hear Conservative Talk Show hosts repeating the Mantra and I want to believe.

That being said, living in California and having daily interaction with Liberals, I can only hope and pray that things will change in November. My own experience with the Obama loving, Republican hating Sheeple here leaves me with unshakable doubt that we can turn the tide.

I hope I'm wrong and I will party like it's 1999 if Boxer gets replaced by ANYBODY. I own a dumb little Chow Chow, and she makes Boxer look like a Pet Rock.

[Niteflyr]

I own a dumb little Chow Chow, and she makes Boxer look like a Pet Rock.

LOLOL!

Were she to be the nominee, the Democrats will run “negative” ads and easily discredit and defeat her. An ad about “walking away from the job” as governor will surely run to large audiences. Mostly, though her problem is with women voters who prefer Obama. She is unelectable. There is no GOP candidate who can win at this point because none have the will to fight, and the Republican primary voters have trouble spotting good candidates.

[Theodore R.]

You are so right; I even wonder if Demos are not planting stores about a likely Republican election win in 2010 to trick the dumb Republican primary voters into staying home.

[Theodore R.]

Not at all: I don’t think she took advantage of the great opportunity she had against Biden in the debate. She did no better than Jack French Kemp did against Al Gore in 1996 but not as bad as Quayle did, when he let Bentsen dominate the proceedings in 1988. Quayle was wrong to ignore Bentsen and just concentrate on Dukakis.

[FTJM]

No more mavericks! That didn’t work the first time.

The writer of the article is a liar, the tea party support goes to Fiorina, not Devore

No it doesn't go to Fiorina.

California's Tea Party candidate for the Republican nomination (to take on sitting Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer) has seen his chances dwindle. Chuck DeVore...

And

A poll showing a candidate down 17 percentage points would put a damper on most campaigns, but Chuck DeVore points to it as cause for optimism in his bid to win the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer.

The Irvine assemblyman has become a torchbearer for California Tea Party activists, winning the endorsement of the Tea Party Express and the conservative California Republican Assembly. He's been a consistent voice in Sacramento and on the Internet in calling for smaller government and lower taxes, and for opposition to abortion and gay marriage.

"We are gaining momentum," DeVore said Thursday at a meeting with news and editorial writers at the Register. "Fiorina and Campbell are coming back to Earth. Our internal (polls) show that Campbell's support is from conservatives who don't know that he was in favor of taxes and when they find out, they shift mostly from him to me – not from him to Fiorina, because Fiorina is perceived as more moderate."

Plus

DeVore, a darling of the conservative Tea Party movement, would seem well suited to make a fundraising splash in the traditionally right-leaning Inland area.

I can't seem to find any Tea Party support for anyone but DeVore in regards to this race. Maybe you can, besides that poll.

[ansel12]

LOL, the difference is you have zero evidence of tea party voters support and I have a California field poll that measures it.

Posting people using phrases like “he is the tea party candidate” is not evidence.

If you have some conflicting polling data, post it.

[Syncro]

I don't depend on polls

It seems that is all you use to determine what you believe

Personal experience and rubbing elbows with thousands of Tea Party attendees and continued communication with the movement is worth more than the polls

Show me something other than polls showing where others are aligned with the tea party more than DeVore and we might have a basis for communication on this

[ansel12]

Why argue if you have no evidence?

The only polling data that we have on tea party voters in California shows them choosing Fiorina, you can say that you don’t like it, but there isn’t much we can “have a basis for communication” once I hear your unsubstantiated personal opinion.

You don’t like it, you don’t accept it, fine, got that.

The poll doesn't prove they chose Fiorina...it's made up don't you get it? LOL

You buy into the leftist lie, so be it

:Polling smolling, is just a tool to get people to jump on bandwagons

[ansel12]

Well, I didn’t think of that, the 60 year old polling company while polling for the California Senate race decided to make up a fake poll and send it out.

You are exactly the type of clear thinking individual that we should trust, thank you for your insight.

[Syncro]

The tea partiers themselves are more accurate than your 2,000 year old poll

I've talked to thousands of them

Like I said, buy into the media spin or not it's your choice
