If you’re following our main blog at TaxDayTeaParty.com, you probably know that yesterday we posted a poll asking tea party activists if they wanted Scott Ashjian, the third party “Tea Party” Candidate for U.S. Senate in Nevada, to withdraw from the race.
Now for those of you who are not familiar with the situation… a few weeks back, Scott Ashjian, an attorney and a few others filed an official third party “Tea Party” in the state of Nevada. At the same time, they announced that Scott Ashjian would run on the Tea Party Ticket as the Tea Party Candidate opposing Senator Harry Reid.

SCV Congress of Republicans Endorses Weste for City Council
SANTA CLARITA – The Santa Clarita Valley Congress of Republicans (SCVCR) voted March 4 to endorse Mayor Laurene Weste in her re-election bid for Santa Clarita City Council. The decision by the SCVCR Board followed a session during which five council candidates addressed the membership and participated in a question-and-answer period.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — DeVore for California today welcomed the overwhelming, first-ballot endorsement of Chuck DeVore by the California Republican Assembly’s 75th annual convention. DeVore’s endorsement, by a margin of 194 votes to 89 for distant-second Carly Fiorina, was the first by a statewide Republican organization in the California U.S. Senate race.
The CRA endorsement of Chuck DeVore was the more remarkable for the tremendous effort the Fiorina campaign put into blocking it. With a 2/3 majority required for an endorsement, that campaign needed to secure the support of only a small minority of delegates. To that end: Carly Fiorina herself spent all day Saturday at the convention; delegates found anti-DeVore materials slipped under their hotel room doors; three of Fiorina’s endorsing U.S. Senators wrote a letter to the delegates; Fiorina’s supporters helped secure a procedural change allowing for a secret ballot; and during voting, delegates were supplied with Carly for California-branded pens.
