The Election May Be Over But Not The Chuck DeVore E-mails

Thank you. You are the best volunteers, supporters, and friends a candidate for office could ever wish to have. With your help we received more than 350,000 votes, garnering 19.2% of the vote after being outspent four-to-one.

Remarkably, according to the Field Poll, I went from having only 18% name identification in October 2009 among likely voters in the Republican primary with 7% having a positive opinion and 11% having a negative opinion of me to 49% knowing of me on the eve of the election with 41% positive to only 8% negative name ID.    Read more »

“Big Cat Fight” May Be Understated. This From Carly Fiorina:

Boxer Bites – Where Are The Jobs, Barbara?

Barbara Boxer has spent a lot of time running around California on her rare, election year-driven trips out from Washington touting all the “jobs” she says have been created by the economic “stimulus” plan. In fact, today she’s headed to Riverside to tout “job creation.”    Read more »

To Paraphrase Eugene O’Neill — The Big Cat Fight Cometh

Dear California’s Capitol,
