So What Are You Doing on Friday?

After the now infamous demon sheep ad, the Republican candidates for U.S. Senate have agreed to a debate. Carly Fiorina, Tom Campbell, and Assemblyman Chuck DeVore are all running in the GOP primary to ultimately challenge Senator Barbara Boxer for her Senate seat. If Boxer wins in November, she will serve her fourth term (wow, at six year terms, a fourth term is… well... you can do the math).

The debate will be hosted by Eric Hogue of Sacramento’s KTKZ radio station. In Mr. Hogue’s blog (http://erichogue.townhall.com/blog) he discusses all three of the candidates. I have two favorites though. The first is his most recent blog entry “Campbell Sympathetic Toward Terrorists?” Apparently, in another move by Carly Fiorina to demonize (bah bah black sheep) Tom Campbell, her campaign manager commented that Campbell is clearly anti-Israel and insinuated that he is, in fact, a terrorist sympathizer.

As a former California Representative in the U.S. House, he voted several times to redirect money away from Israel and is accused of having personal relationships with two convicted Palestinian terrorist sympathizers. Yikes.

My other favorite blog entry of Eric’s sheds some light on why exactly Campbell switched races from being a Gubernatorial candidate to the Senate GOP primary race. In a word: abortion. As the only clearly pro-choice Republican candidate, many moderates believe that he is the only candidate with a chance against Boxer in November.

So if you have a chance, Friday at noon you should tune in and learn a little bit about these people who might very well be your next Senator. http://www.ktkz.com/
