Carly Fiorina,  Chuck DeVore,  National Republican Senatorial Committee

Chuck DeVore Who?

From Washington Post political writer and blogger Chris Cillizza’s twitter feed yesterday

Exactly.

And, this is why former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina has boasted that national Republicans support her candidacy.

Carly Fiorina, a likely Republican candidate for Senate in California, made public on Tuesday what her GOP primary opponent Chuck DeVore has long claimed: that the national party is supporting her bid to take out Sen. Barbara Boxer next year.

“The chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee has encouraged me to enter the race, reaffirming my belief that Chuck DeVore can not beat Barbara Boxer,” Fiorina said Tuesday, according to SanDiegoNewsRoom.com.

Now the National Republican Senatorial Committee has done NO formal endorsement and today entertained another candidate, Al Ramirez who is running for the California U.S. Senate seat.

There has been some grumbling that the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s (NRSC) resources haven’t been available to lesser-known candidates, but perhaps they just never asked.

Businessman Al Ramirez, an underdog candidate in the GOP primary to face Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), is launching his campaign today at NRSC headquarters.

Ramirez’s event could been seen as a retort to state Sen. Chuck DeVore’s contention that the committee has already chosen sides in the primary. DeVore has unleashed a series of attacks on the NRSC for allegedly choosing Carly Fiorina as its candidate.

NRSC spokesman Brian Walsh says: “Al Ramirez is a Republican candidate, and we extend our facilities to Republican candidates. Barbara Boxer’s approval ratings are very low, and we’re excited about our prospects in California next year.”

I mean could you really blame the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) for backing Carly Fiorina? After all NOBODY even knows who Irvine-based California Assemblyman Chuck DeVore is. And, he has raised NO money for a statewide campaign.

Chuck DeVore is simply NOT a viable candidate against Democrat incumbent U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer and should stop his MOANING about the NRSC which he never even asked to meet.

Update:

And Chuck DeVore called Chris Cillizza a what in response? SORE LOSER.

Well, when DeVore found out about Cillizza’s poison-tipped “who?” hebasically had no other choice than to let slip the dogs of War-tweeting. And so ensued a series of barbaric bleats starting with DeVore pointing out that he was “The candidate who edged you out for a Shorty Award for best political use of Twitter, that’s who!” Yes: I had to look up what a “Shorty Award” is, and this is what I found out….

Anyway, DeVore then felt compelled to send the same message out (“Chris Cillizza is still sore DeVore for CA beat him out for a Shorty Award for best political use of Twitter in 08.”) three separate times, which certainly bespeaks a level of Twitter ineptitude that one would think unbecoming of a winner of one of these vaunted Shorty Awards.

Odd duck is only the beginning to describe Chuck DeVore. Geeeeezzzzz.

    Fiorina’s was not know to Tina Fey after the SNL Sarah Palin parodies when Fiorina flubbed her follow-up on suggesting that the SNL stuff was sexist. Fiorina suggested that none of the candidates “had the experience to run a major corporation.” Of course, leaving unsaid “like I did.” Oh well. Fey referred to Fiorina as “Some lady….thought it was sexist.” Fey goes on:

    “That’s just crazy because you have to be able to goof on the female politicians, otherwise you really are treating them like they are weaker.”

    You go, girl.
