  • CA-Sen: NRA urges its members to reject GOP Senate candidate Tom Campbell
    The National Rifle Assn. is urging its California members to vote against Republican Senate candidate Tom Campbell "to protect your gun rights and hunting heritage in California."

    The bright orange postcard, which went out over the weekend, faults Campbell for favoring gun show regulations, a waiting period for handgun purchases and restrictions on the sale of semiautomatic assault weapons.

    Another reason Tom Campbell is Barbara Boxer Light

  • Sarah Palin and the Feminist Revival
    Three days later, Palin was out stumping for Rep Michele Bachmann proclaiming: “Someone better tell Washington that that pink elephant is on the move…” The footage of the rally was beautifully reminiscent of Hillary’s rallies in 2008 – a female candidate with a wall of women behind her.

    And Palin just picked up steam from there. While the leadership of the Republican Party fumbled around over Arizona’s new immigration law, Palin has stood, unwaveringly, by and with Arizona Governor Jan Brewer.

    Shortly thereafter, Palin endorsed Carly Fiorina in her bid for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate – this despite a backlash from supporters over not choosing the Tea Party favorite Chuck DeVore. The Fiorina endorsement took courage and loyalty – both of which are lacking in our current day political paradigm.

  • CA-Sen: Should Chuck DeVore Drop Out Of The California Senate Race?
    This is a painful post to write.
    It is painful because I have been, and still consider myself, a supporter of California Republican senate candidate Assemblyman Chuck DeVore.
    But, there is a time to support and believe my candidate can really win and for reality to set in.
    The reality is that unless Mr. DeVore can raise himself to at least be tied with fellow Republican candidate Carly Fiorina in polling, it is time for Mr. DeVore to consider the unthinkable.
    To drop out of the race and endorse Carly Fiorina.
    There are three words that make this a potential necessity.
    Terrible Tom Campbell.
    ++++++++
    Up to Chuck DeVore but if he allows Campbell to win then the blood will be on his hands
