Sarah Palin endorses Carly Fiorina in California
2010-05-07
Former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin endorsed former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina on Thursday in the GOP contest for the California Senate nomination.

Fiorina -- a top surrogate to Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) presidential campaign -- received the primary endorsement over Tea Party favorite Chuck DeVore, as well as former Rep. Tom Campbell.

The endorsement also comes as something of a surprise, given that Fiorina once said Palin was not qualified to run a "major corporation" during the 2008 presidential campaign. Fiorina later backed off the comment slightly, saying she didn't think McCain or Barack Obama could run a major corporation either.

Palin dubbed Fiorina a "commonsense conservative" in a post announcing the endorsement on Facebook, a label she frequently gives to candidates with much firmer conservative credentials.

"We can trust Carly to do the right thing for America's economy and to make the principled decisions she has throughout her professional career," Palin wrote. "Her fiscal conservatism is rooted in real life experience. She knows that when government grows, the private sector shrinks under the burden of debt and deficits."
