So Wait A Second! DeVore Polls Better Against Boxer Than Fiorina, But We’re Supposed to go With Carly?!?!

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  May 14th at 10:20 AM  | 

Somewhere along the way someone forgot one of the chief rules of politics: win the general election. We have been so focused on primaries, we’re forgetting that the endgame is victory in November not [insert your primary date here]. I remember in one of the campaign books James Carville and Paul Begala wrote that was actually very good (complete with a great pancake recipe), they | Read More »

California Pro-Life Council Owes Chuck DeVore and Me an Apology

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  May 13th at 11:06 PM  | 

Maybe it is their lack of reading comprehension that led the California Pro-Life Council to endorse Carly Fiorina over Chuck DeVore. DeVore has a strong pro-life record. Fiorina does not. But they’ve gone too far now with this email: The conservative leader of Red State web-site has now asked Devore to please consider stepping down in order to stop the splitting of the pro-life vote | Read More »

Does Chuck DeVore Have The Momentum?

By: Aaron Gardner (Diary)  |  May 12th at 10:15 AM  | 

After the SUSA poll came out, Erick and I both wrote in support of Chuck DeVore. I can’t really speak for Erick, but I am sticking with Chuck because I believe he is the right candidate on the issues and the late movement in this race is all going to Chuck DeVore. As the day progressed and the standard arguments fleshed out, I realized that | Read More »

On Chuck DeVore and Polling

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  May 11th at 11:10 PM  | 

Much is being made by this comment I made on CNN tonight. I stand by it. But don’t let it distract you from the fact that I also stand by Chuck DeVore. What I said and what I meant is that the election is four weeks away in California. In two more weeks I’ll check again and see what the polling shows. I believe Tom | Read More »

SUSA CA Senate Poll *Update for clarification*

By: Aaron Gardner (Diary)  |  May 11th at 01:53 PM  | 

Although the big news has been that Poizner is now within striking distance of Meg Whitman in the CA Gov Republican Primary, I am going to focus on the CA Senate race poll results via SUSA. As I pointed out here (also at my blog), and is now confirmed by SUSA, Chuck DeVore has jumped 5 points in the polls. This positive movement for Chuck | Read More »

More From Chuck DeVore.

By: Aaron Gardner (Diary)  |  May 10th at 01:29 PM  | 

I just watched the video of the May 9th ABC 7 News GOP Primary debate and I must say, Chuck DeVore was excellent. Chuck DeVore rose above his opponents in both knowledge possessed and delivery of that understanding to the California Republican primary voters. His detractors should take notice – this primary ain’t over yet. Here are the highlights of the debate showing why I | Read More »

I’m staying with Chuck DeVore

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  May 9th at 07:00 AM  | 

I appreciate Sarah Palin. I know sometimes you read that I’m somehow a critic of Palin’s, but truth be told, I love the lady. You can say all day that she doesn’t have the “intellectual curiosity” to be President — which is to Palin as “Cheney’s gravitas” was to Bush — but you cannot deny this woman is fundamentally conservative, Christian, and would be a | Read More »

No Need to Compromise – A message from Chuck DeVore

By: Chuck DeVore (Diary)  |  May 7th at 10:20 AM  | 

Last night I finished strong in a one hour debate with Tom Campbell and Carly Fiorina (to be broadcast Sunday morning — we’ll send you the media analysis when it comes in). But I wanted to take a moment to type out some of my thoughts on the day’s news and provide you with an update on my campaign. If you didn’t hear, Sarah Palin | Read More »

Sarah Palin Endorses Carly Fiorina: Is She Jumping the shark?

By: Tabitha Hale (Diary)  |  May 6th at 04:00 PM  | 

Sarah Palin just endorsed Carly Fiorina in the CA Senate race. The initial reponse on Twitter and Facebook was shock from most of the acivists. I suppose many were convinced that Palin was still a “maverick”… which, if we’re being honest, hasn’t been true for a while. She’s becoming the establishment, for better or worse. I fail to see how endorsing Fiorina is “shaking things | Read More »

Carly Fiorina rakes in the pro-life endorsements

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  May 4th at 02:00 PM  | 

First Susan B. Anthony’s list endorsed Carly Fiorina in the Republican Senate primary here in California, and now via Flash Report we find that the California Pro-Life Council, the California affiliate of National Right to Life, has joined in endorsing Fiorina. This comes after she snagged Tom Coburn’s support. Clearly, behind closed doors she’s convincing people. At this point I’d love to be able to | Read More »

California Republican Assembly endorses Chuck DeVore

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  March 7th at 10:53 PM  | 

The California Republican Assembly, a 75 year old conservative group in this state, endorsed Chuck DeVore for Senate today with over 75% support on the first ballot. “CRA must keep working and producing solid conservative candidates for office at all levels of government, and I hope that my fellow Californians will join the CRA team and get involved with a local chapter.” Ronald Reagan said | Read More »
