Cue the award-winning new media operation of Chuck DeVore blasting the establishment Republican forces arrayed against his insurgent conservative campaign after this CQ Politics piece:

The NRSC and the Fiorina campaign joined forces to form the Fiorina Victory Committee, according to paperwork filed with the Federal Election Commission on Dec. 4. The committee allows the party and Fiorina to split funds raised via joint events or appeals.

The NRSC has not endorsed a candidate in the primary race between Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett Packard, and conservative state Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, but it has been at odds with the DeVore campaign over its perceived favoritism of Fiorina. As a result, DeVore questioned the “utility in further outreach” to the committee, a DeVore spokesman told CQ-Roll Call in October.

The national party also tapped Fiorina to give the weekly Republican radio address Dec. 5.

The NRSC told CQ-Roll Call it is “willing to conduct joint fundraising events with virtually any Republican candidate who asks, provided they have the potential to help the Committee raise money in addition to their own campaigns.”
