The Chuck DeVore Phenomenon
DeVore wins the useless Red State primary.
Editors with the conservative blog-turned-Eagle Forum subsidiary Red State laid out the best case for Assemblyman Chuck DeVore's eventual electoral defeat in their endorsement post for his campaign for U.S. Senate:
The Chuck DeVore phenomenon is tapping into the grassroots energy that Republicans will need to cripple Barack Obama and the Congressional Democrats in 2010. He is a fighter who is right on the issues and is raising money. Chuck is California’s best hope to harry the menace to liberty and common sense that is Senator Barbara Boxer. It is for that reason that we, the undersigned, individual RedState.com editors, do endorse Chuck DeVore to be the Republican nominee to unseat Senator Boxer.
RedState takes a wide range of conservative and Republican views, but one issue we make demands on is life. Chuck DeVore stands alone among the five major Republican candidates for California statewide office this year in that he has a proven record of being pro-life, with clear pro-life ratings for his legislative tenure. In the Senate we need all the pro-life help we can get, especially given that the Senate is Ground Zero for Supreme Court nominations.
DeVore's campaign website, however, is simply atrocious and uses a poorly-designed rip-off of Hillary Clinton's campaign slogan from nearly three years ago. Quite the "phenomenon" indeed.
