I'm with Rick Amato on his opinion of recent Palin endorsement!
FROM RICK AMATO'S COLUMN IN THE WASHINGTON TIMES
ANALYSES:
That collective gasp that you hear is either the sound of Chuck DeVore supporters reacting to Sarah Palin's endorsement of Carly Fiorina, or it is the sound Palin fans in Calif jumping off her bandwagon...or perhaps both.
Funny how Palin- who traveled the nation with the TEA Party Express- can overlook the ONE TEA Party candidate in the race- DeVore- and endorse his opponent.
Even more peculiar is how she called Fiorina "the common sense conservative", which begs the question: If Ms. Palin believes Fiorina is the one with common sense, then what does that make Chuck DeVore and the thousands of TEA Party members who support him? Angry white racists?
That aside my belief is that Sarah Palin took the money- figuratively and perhaps literally- and ran.
Remember The TEA Party Express which recruited and trotted Sarah Palin across the country like their prized trophy, is NOT really an authentic grass roots TEA Party organization.
As I have discussed on my radio show the TEA Party Express is funded, founded and organized by a Political Action Committee out of Sacramento which acts as a fundraising arm for the republican party...The very same republican party that is backing Ms. Fiorina.
Unfortunately the TEA Party Express- which organizes rallies across the country by calling on unsuspecting AUTHENTIC grass roots TEA Party members to join in- IS THE ASTRO-TURF which critics accuse the entire movement of being.
Instead of joining in on the TEA Party principles and values- the GOP has created a vehicle to be used to exploit the TEA Party movement.

While the GOP is feeling fat and sassy this morning with the endorsement of their astro-turf candidate by their prized trophy, they may have overlooked one big problem.
You can't fake authenticity.
If conservative, libertarian and independent voters in California are disenchanted with the list of candidates who advance on June 8th, I predict they will either stay home in large numbers in November or a populist 3rd party movement will emerge.
Either way bad news for the GOP.
And as they say, as California goes so goes America.
