Another Teabag Casualty: DeMint Targets Fiorina In CA-Sen Race
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.'"

DeMint's fund already has endorsed Republican senate candidates Marco Rubio in Florida and Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania.

He urged supporters to directly donate to the DeVore campaign.

A couple of people try for the nomination. It will be bad for the reps if they run as an independent or a third party.

3. This is standard teabag strategy.
This is how they roll. If they don't like a Rethug candidate because he or she is deemed sufficiently conservative enough, they will support a very RW candidate.

They are supporting Rubio over Crist in Florida.

They are also going to primary Simmons(CT), Kirk(IL), and others. They don't care if what they are doing brings down the Rethug candidate in the election. They have their own agenda.
