"In the Senate race, Fiorina dropped more than $5 million of her own money into ads that took on her chief opponent, former Congressman Tom Campbell. The third-place finisher, Irvine Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, tried to rally support among the primary's most vocal voters, the "tea party" denizens, but his effort was undercut when Fiorina won the endorsement of the movement's icon, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.Unless there is some revelation about Fiorina that makes voting for her too unpalatable I am supporting her. This will likely be the last blog here. I will leave the blog up for a while.
Fiorina's victory set up a rarity in American politics — a November general election battle between two female nominees of the major parties. It and the Whitman-Brown race instantly became among the most watched races nationally with iconic Democratic veterans as key Republican targets.
Speaking to supporters in Anaheim, Fiorina spent most of her remarks criticizing Boxer. "I believe in lower taxes … so that we the people can best decide to spend and invest our hard-earned dollars," she said. "She believes the government can best decide how to spend your income."
Boxer characterized the former Hewlett Packard chief executive as a "heartless" executive who fired tens of thousands of workers and sent American jobs to other countries while grabbing perks for herself.

Todd, I will support Fiorina too, although today I am sad. :-(
ReplyDeleteChuck is a great guy, a Constitutionalist, and would have made an excellent senator. I hope his name recognition improves so he will do better next time. Maybe against Feinstein.
I've been with Californians for Chuck DeVore for over a year now and after the election we have changed the name to Conservative America for Chuck DeVore.
ReplyDeleteWe intend to continue our support and continue to get him name recognition. It is possible that by the time Feinstein comes up for re-election he will make the decision to run.
This election was indeed very disappointing but DeVore remains a man of principle and the real conservative choice we had in this primary. Who he is will not change come 2012.
Thank you and the others here who supported Chuck. I visited often and will miss your blogs.
