#2 If he had seen it, he said, he never would have written the letter.

So he has no foresight, and doesn't have the sense to read a person's views through before supporting them?

This is the same kind of logic of those that had Mein Kampf on the coffee table and claimed they never really knew what Hitler was up to.
Sure. Right.

#4 Nothing like being on the wrong side of things. Burnt toast!

Al-Arian was sentenced to 57 months in prison, given credit for time served, and ordered deported following his prison term. He was to serve the balance of 19 months. In March 2008, the United States Department of Justice subpoenaed Al-Arian to testify before a grand jury. He refused to testify, and prosecutors charged him with criminal contempt in June 2008. On September 2, 2008, Al-Arian was released from detention on bond. He remains under house arrest, as he awaits a trial on contempt charges

#5 Former Rep Campbell has a PhD in economics and a law degree too so he is not stupid.

So ruling out stupid leaves dishonesty or sloth as his 'excuses'.

#6 So you'd rather have Carly on the ballot and return Boxer?

Yeah, it was a dumb letter to send and shows poor judgment. And the guy has RINO tendencies. He's still better than Carly.

#7 Chuck DeVore

Yeah, I know. He's too conservative and he doesn't stand a chance in blue Kaliphornia. But I just can't vote for Carly. I can't. Sorry.

#8 Voting the lesser of two evils will just get you the same old politico. You have nothing to lose by voting your conscience.

#9 The last time Campbell ran against a liberal, Jewish, female Senator:

Democratic Dianne Feinstein (incumbent) 5,932,522 - 55.9%

Republican Tom Campbell 3,886,853 - 36.6%

#10 Yeah, I don't have a vote in it, being happy up here in Pennsyltucky, but from this vantage DeVore looks like the only respectable option. Campbell has some bizarre skeletons in his closet, and Fiorina left a trail of wreckage behind her in private life and seems to be a two-faced clown in political life.

#11 ". But I just can't vote for Carly. I can't. Sorry."

So you will vote for DeVore and get Boxer re-elected? That makes a lot of sense ... for a Democrat!

So are you saying that Boxer is better than Carly?

Because that is actually what you are saying. You can't vote for Carly which means you will in effect be voting for Boxer.

#12 This is why Caliphornia is in the shape it is and why it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. DeVore is clearly the guy you want and just as clearly doesn't have a chance. So you've got Carly, Professor Tom or Babs. Helluva choice. The only real difference is who they vote for for Senate Majority leader.

And it's not like it's a lot better elsewhere. Spector is leading Toomey in PA right now. And I'll really rile things up by saying that Bambi will easily be a two termer if health care is defeated. So things aren't really going to change until the war starts and looks to be as lost as in January 1942.
