So, is Senator Scott Brown endorsing Carly Fiorina in a contested GOP primary Senate election?

If it is not a formal endorsement, it is pretty darn close since Brown is definitely raising money for her.

And, what does this mean for Chuck DeVore and Tom Campbell?

• CA-Gov: Wavering Steve Poizner supporters delivering strategic intelligence to Whitman campaign
  Steve Poizner is prepared to hold his fire against Meg Whitman, his opponent for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, until the final month of the primary campaign, according to wavering supporters who were told of the strategy in an appeal for them to stay with him.

  In conversations with top officials in the Poizner campaign, his top political backers have been asked to remain patient as Poizner waits until the final weeks of the June 8 primary before he starts pummeling Whitman on the airwaves with an $18 million on-air assault, the backers told the Bay Area News Group. They spoke on condition of anonymity about the sensitive strategy they said was relayed to them. They haven't officially declared their switch to Whitman, but some have brought the strategic intelligence to Whitman's campaign team.
  +++++++
  A negative campaign that late in the game is gambling. Is it over for Poizner now?

• Obamacare: Harry Reid Signals Support For Reconciliation Vote On Public Option
  In another surprising step forward for the public option, Senator Harry Reid’s office says that if a final decision is made to pass health reform via reconciliation, the Majority Leader would support holding a reconciliation vote on the public option.

  With more and more Senators signing on to the letter urging Reid to hold an up or down vote on the public option under reconciliation rules, Reid spokesman Rodell Mollineau sends over a statement signaling Reid’s qualified support for the move:

  Senator Reid has always and continues to support the public option as a way to drive down costs and create competition. That is why he included the measure in his original health care proposal.

  If a decision is made to use reconciliation to advance health care, Senator Reid will work with the White House, the House, and members of his caucus in an effort to craft a public option that can overcome procedural obstacles and secure enough votes.
  +++++++
  Obama is flirting with losing it all

• CA-Gov: Meg Whitman campaign files FPPC complaint against Democratic campaign group
  Attorneys for Republican Meg Whitman's gubernatorial campaign have filed a complaint with state election officials against a group of Democrats who launched radio ads this week attacking Whitman.
  +++++++
  Why, of course, big Labor is paying for the ads – gotta have disclosure. And, shckingly they support Jerry Brown
  The filing marks the increased gamesmanship between Whitman's campaign and Democrats supporting Jerry Brown as the race for California governor officially gets underway.

  The seven-page complaint, filed Thursday with the Fair Political Practices Commission by Whitman attorney Tom Hiltachk, alleges that Level the Playing Field 2010 is violating state election law by not disclosing the name of it major contributors in ads. The complaint calls Level the Playing Field "a labor union front group," and alleges collusion between the committee and Jerry Brown, the likely Democratic candidate for governor.

• Obamacare: Obama to spell out new healthcare plan – It's BACK!
  President Barack Obama is expected to publish his healthcare plan as early as Sunday or Monday, combining features of the two Democratic bills passed by the Senate and House of Representatives, congressional aides and healthcare advocates said on Friday.

  The administration's bill will aim to jump-start the stalled healthcare overhaul and comes just days ahead of a planned televised White House summit with congressional Republicans, who are calling on Democrats to scrap the bills and start over with a far less sweeping proposal.

  Democrats are struggling to push healthcare legislation over the finish line in the face of sagging public support and solid Republican opposition bolstered by recent election victories in Massachusetts, Virginia and New Jersey.
  +++++++
  If the Dems try to RAM this through, they will lose the House and Senate in November.

Probably just HOT AIR from you, Chuck.

But, if those around you say your breath is toxic, I suggest you find another dentist and FAST.

Come on, this GEEK wants to be a United States Senator?
