Sarah Palin's Political Bandwagon Is wobbling Under The Weight of Contradictions The Sarah Palin phenomenon is finally beginning to fade as contradictions mount up, says Alex Spillius in Washington Alex Spillius 15 May 2010 We are seeing the first signs of wobble on the Sarah Palin bandwagon. This may seem a strange thing to say about a political superstar who has earned at least $12 million in the past 18 months from a publishing advance, personal appearance fees and a television punditry contract, not to forget a reality show about life in Alaska. Palin is such a boon to the...

Open Letter to Carly Fiorina: Please Quit and Support Chuck DeVore Posted on 15 May 2010 by admin Share I am offering an open, heartfelt letter to Carly Fiorina, GOP candidate for U.S. Senate in California. I hope many people will send it to her and she will take this advice. I give this advice, as someone not paid for this commentary by any individual or by any campaign, though I do support Chuck DeVore. I write this to you Carly, because I am your age, I have been covering politics since the late 1970s and I have seen a...

<p>Sarah Palin predicted Friday that a new wave of antiabortion feminists, including California Senate candidate Carly Fiorina, will soon take power in Washington.</p> <p>"This year will be remembered as the year that commonsense conservative women get things done for our country," Palin said at the Susan B. Anthony List Celebration of Life Breakfast in Washington.</p>

It's something we've been mulling over for days... We've been wondering why Sarah Palin endorsed Carly Fiorina over Chuck DeVore in the battle to unseat California's Leftist Queen Imbecile "Don't call me ma'am" Barbara Boxer. We interviewed DeVore on our program a couple of weeks ago. We liked him. He's got military cred. He has a strongly conservative voting record as a California State Assemblyman. He's been vetted and endorsed by Melanie Morgan's newly formed organization "Warriors for Congress", and he passed muster with flying colors. I admit we're as disappointed as we are puzzled at why Palin would endorse...

For the second time this week the McCain campaign tried to disentangle itself from embarrassing comments made by surrogates stumping for the Republican presidential candidate. Earlier this week, Sen. John McCain rejected a statement by his top economics adviser, former Sen. Phil Gramm, who complained that America is "a nation of whiners" and the country is in a "mental recession." McCain joked Thursday that Gramm, once touted as a possible Treasury secretary in a McCain administration, would make a good ambassador to Belarus. Today the campaign tried to recover from a comment by Carly Fiorina, McCain's most visible woman surrogate...

On the Propositions: Prop. 13. Seismic Retrofits. YES: Earthquake proofing your house shouldn’t trigger a tax increase until you’re ready to sell. Any questions? Prop. 14. Distorted Primary. NO: This was the result of the corrupt deal for the tax increase engineered by Abel Maldonado that included this measure to by-pass party primaries in a manner Maldonado believed would enhance his future election prospects. Instead of voters of each party putting their best candidate forward, this jerry-rigged system is designed to disguise the difference between the parties and force those pesky third parties off the general election ballot entirely. Prop....

Is Carly Fiorina pro-life? The question has come to the fore of late, as she publicly contemplates a candidacy for United States Senate against Barbara Boxer — and as her opponent for the California Republicans’ nomination in that race, Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, has publicly questioned her pro-life credentials. (Full disclosure: I’m a member of the DeVore campaign, so read the following with Reagan’s appropriated Russian dictum to “trust, but verify,” in mind.) An examination of the Fiorina record on this topic reveals worrying inconsistencies. Any review of Fiorina’s pro-life convictions must acknowledge that for the past 20 months, when pressed...

The following is allegedly an email from Tom Campbell. "David" wrote to him asking for clarification of his position on using the TSA "No-fly" list to prohibit the purchase or possession of a firearm by a listed individual. Mr. Campbell supposedly supports using the TSA's list to deny Americans their Constitutional right to keep and bear arms and to do so without a trial... ----- Forwarded Message ----From: Tom Campbell To:Sent: Thu, May 13, 2010 9:15:16 AMSubject: Thank you for contacting me - Tom Campbell Dear David,      Thank you for taking the time to provide me with your insight about...

Embattled Democratic incumbent Barbara Boxer remains in a virtual tie with Republican challenger Tom Campbell, but two other GOP hopefuls are still failing to gain traction in California’s race for the U.S. Senate. A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in California shows Boxer with 42% support in a match-up with Campbell, a former congressman, who earns 41%. Five percent (5%) prefer some other candidate, and 12% remain undecided. These numbers have changed little since March and April. But Boxer now posts a 45% to 38% lead over former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina. Given that match-up, four percent...

Former Hewlett-Packard executive Carly Fiorina is providing her Senate campaign in California with another $1.1 million as the state's GOP primary draws near. Fiorina's campaign spokesman Julie Soderlund said Friday the additional money will allow Fiorina to buy more television advertising and is further proof she's in the race to win. Fiorina already had lent the campaign $2.5 million.

Running last in most polls, Republican Assemblyman Chuck DeVore says he knows what would allow him to win California's GOP Senate primary: a murder-suicide pact. His thinking goes like this: In the final days of the campaign, former businesswoman Carly Fiorina uses her advertising to beat up on frontrunner former Rep. Tom Campbell - that would be the murder - and then Fiorina pays the price with voters for going negative - that would be the suicide.

Former Republican Rep. Tom Campbell is feeling good about the latest SurveyUSA poll, which shows him opening up an 11-point lead over former businesswoman Carly Fiorina in California's GOP Senate race.

According to a new poll of 10,000 Tea Party members in California, Chuck DeVore is the overwhelming favorite in the GOP Senate race to win the June 8 primary over his two Republican opponents. Senate: Tom Campbell 12% Chuck DeVore 54% Carly Fiorina 21% Other 13% A poll done statewide by SurveyUSA last week showed DeVore in third place but moving up, while Carly Fiorina had dropped 5-10 points in certain demographics. See here. Carly Fiorina, a former aide to John McCain during his 2008 run for president, was recently endorsed by Sarah Palin, McCain’sformer running mate. Palin has received...

Sarah Palin started off her keynote speech at at this morning's Susan B. Anthony List "Celebration of Life" breakfast in downtown Washington D.C. with a defense of her endorsement of Republican California Senate candidate Carly Fiorina. Palin justified picking Fiorina over the other Republicans in the primary race by remarking that "anyone bold enough to proclaim their pro-life stance -- or pro-NRA stance in a deep blue state" like California is "the real deal" when it comes to pro-life credentials.

Fellow conservatives, please welcome US Senate candidate from the great state of California, Lt. Colonel Chuck DeVore! Chuck is THE candidate in the race for the GOP Senate nomination who has a proven track record of both fiscal and social conservatism. He is pro-life, pro-gun, pro-God, and equally important, strictly pro-Constitution. He is currently serving his third term in the California Assembly and is a Lt. Colonel in the US Army Reserve. Chuck also was a Ronald Reagan appointee to serve as Special Assistant for Foreign Affairs in the Pentagon from 1986-88. And Chuck shares the Gipper’s philosophy on governance...

Once arrested, a terrorist suspect should be interrogated for information regarding any imminent terrorist attacks. That is the top priority. It is critical not to give such suspects the chance to delay answering questions while waiting for a court-appointed attorney. Reminding the terrorist suspect that he or she has the right to remain silent can only increase the possibility that the terrorist suspect will remain silent. It is completely contrary to our country's immediate interest in preventing the loss of innocent life from more terrorist attacks. It was, therefore, amazing to hear Carly Fiorina and Chuck Devore in the recent...

Fellow Freepers, on Friday Morning California Senate Candidate Chuck DeVore will be stopping by FR for an hour to say hello & answer a number of questions in an exclusive FR virtual 'Press Conference'. So please stop by and say hello to this rock-ribbed conservative. Chuck is fighting for the nomination against Carly Fiorina and Tom Campbell for the privilege of knocking out the left wing harpy Barbara Boxer. Chuck is the only proven conservative in the race and is polling against Boxer as well or better than the other Republicans. Jim Robinson has been gracious enough to allow Chuck...

There’s only one earmark Chuck DeVore, conservative Republican candidate for a U.S. Senate seat, wants to embrace — the “earmark” he hopes voters put next to his name in California’s June 8 primary election. DeVore is working hard running a grassroots campaign relying heavily on Tea Party gatherings, talk radio and news media to beat two more widely known opponents who are competing for the GOP nomination, businesswoman Carly Fiorina and former Rep. Tom Campbell. The GOP winner will take on the Democratic incumbent, Sen. Barbara Boxer, in November. DeVore, a lanky 6-foot-5 state Assemblyman who represents Orange County, minces...

Once again Sarah Palin’s wisdom and political savvy has been proven to be spot on. Sarah saw weeks ago what others are just now realizing: Chuck DeVore has no hope. He has no chance of winning the Californian Republican primary against Carly Fiorina and Tom Campbell. As we have said before, it was shaping up to be a great battle and California, and the Nation would have been well served by either a Senator Fiorina or a Senator DeVore. Though not a Californian, I was an early DeVore supporter, however, ethics issues that have surfaced trouble me greatly. Had this...
