On the one hand, this is beyond stupid in the sense that a teabagger has no chance of winning in the land of herbal tea. On the other, Fiorina is a shitty candidate anyway:
A California Republican aiming to unseat Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) next year has gotten a boost from conservative Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC).
DeMint announced last night his Senate Conservatives Fund was endorsing state Assemblyman Chuck DeVore over former Hewlett Packard chief Carly Fiorina. The group supports only “rock solid” conservatives, organizers told supporters on a conference call last night as election results came in.
DeVore “will work with me to shake things up,” DeMint said, and “vote the right way …stand up in our conference meetings and say, ‘Folks this is wrong let’s turn this thing around.'”
I hope DeVore busts out the industrial strength anti-immigrant hate. That always goes over well in California.
BFR
I’m guessing this actually is good news for conservatives. DeVore has a microscopic chance of winning the seat, but Fiorina isn’t much higher.
In other words, if you’re running the show for the GOP and you’ve got a bunch of wingnuts screaming for blood, then throwing them a bone in CA is good strategy. It’ll take some of the heat off of Crist and it doesn’t actually cost you anything.

Carly Fiorina is case of social promotion, and another example of the fatal flaw of universal suffrage. She ran HP from July, 1999 to January, 2005, dropping the stock price from ~$70/share to ~$20/share. At one point it fell to $12/share.
Check out this stock chart.
Hewlett Packard has yet to fully recover from her time at the helm. And for this, politicians like John McCain, and the California Republican Party, seek her out. This is because she is not physically deformed, says the right words, and has boobs.
Our system currently is about counting heads, not sticking to Values and Principles, and has little concern for the long-term health of the State. We know that women vote for women from Sarah Palin’s example.
These are silly games.
Socrates teaches us that in the perfect state, the best philosophers and the bravest warriors should be king. This is in contrast with this failed female business executive who improves the self-esteem of Oprah’s audience.
DeVore needs to stick by his Principles, and time will cure the rest.

California Republicans are crazier than anywhere in the country. I predicted a DeVore victory in the primary months ago. DeMint’s support and Cornyn canceling all financial support in contested primaries seals it.
Fiorina wasn’t going to win anyway. Dems in the state were licking their chops at the prospect of going against her.
