I recently received this memo from a friend who was on the mailing list for Carly Fiorina for California. I have posted the memo for your reading pleasure and have highlighted the part I found very interesting and have given my take on it below the memo itself.

The most recent blog rumor, this one at Redcounty.com, offered no links to any documents. It was given a prominent position on the website, titled with a fore-boding “Sounds Like A Possible FEC Investigation Into DeVore.†The basis for the rumor is what purports to be an “insider†memo from the Fiorina campaign’s Martin Wilson dated April 22, 2010:
“An independent group, California Citizens for Ethics in Government, has called on the California Attorney General and the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to investigate whether Chuck is using public dollars to subsidize his campaign. We’ll let the guardians of the public fisc do their job and not speculate about where this may lead.†(original underlining)

I’m not abandoning Chuck just because Sarah Palin had decided to go elsewhere. As much as I’d have loved her to get on board with Mike Lee in Utah and Marlin Stutzman in Indiana (hopefully she’ll go with Ken Buck in Colorado), we don’t always have to see eye to eye. Honestly, I’d rather be batting 1000 with Jim DeMint, who is in the Senate and knows what the Senate really needs. Right now I am batting that thousand. DeMint is with Chuck DeVore. So am I.
