The American Spectator : The Spectacle Blog : DeMint Endorses DeVore

Text Size

Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) endorsed California US Senate candidate Chuck DeVore Tuesday, one day before former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina formally announced her campaign at a "green detergents" plant. Fiorina is likely to have the support of mainstream Republicans, and her personal wealth indicates that DeVore has a huge uphill climb in terms of fundraising. DeMint's PAC, the Senate Conservatives Fund, has already poured thousands into the Marco Rubio senate campaign in Florida, where the conservative Rubio is running against the more moderate Governor Charlie Crist. If national conservative leaders begin to support DeVore, it could make for an interesting competition.

We need to get behind the Conservative Right away before the Master of Disaster: Carly Failurina gets a foothold.
What record is she going to run on?
HP stock going from $52 to $20 in six years?
Being booted out of HP for running the company down?
Creating an atmosphere of low morale?

Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group in San Jose, said Fiorina's strength was vision, but not execution.

Great! That's all we need is someone who can see across the road, but can't start the car to get there.
California and America are in miserable shape, they need someone with VISION and EXECUTION.
Lastly, we don't need any middle of the road RINO's.
Call Jim Demint and voice your support for Chuck DeVore an honest to goodness Conservative Republican!
