Months ago when discussing Marco Rubio's decision to challenge Charlie Crist, I said he was a great candidate, but probably should have chosen to run for Governor due to his massive shortage of cash relative to his Senate primary opponent, Governor Charlie Crist.

Sessions raises money much of his money from K Street whores but... Everyday we're hearing about the GOP being ripped apart by its own internal fight-to-the-death between naive, hate-driven teabaggers, who have been weaned on entirely too much Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage and Lou Dobbs, and practical Republican politicians who just want to do well in their careers.

One of the next great conservative hopes seems likely to be a California Republican who has already taken on Senate Republicans, has ties to birthers and tea-partiers and is virtually unknown by the mainstream media establishment. Chuck DeVore, a Republican member of the California State Assembly, is positioning himself as the ideologically pure alternative to Republican Carly Fiorina in the party's...
