Former KSFO morning host Lee Rodgers has never endorsed a candidate for Senate before. But the conservative thinks OC Assemblyman Chuck DeVore is the man for him in the US Senate race. At least that's what it sort of sounds like in his blog. The only thing that would be better for DeVore is if Uncle Lee lived in California and could cast a ballot; he's camped out in Arizona.
"Carly Fiorina has a background in the big-time corporate world and a bulging campaign war-chest. Chuck DeVore brings a record of principled conservatism in the state legislature.
"Has the prototype for this sort of match-up been seen before? Let us recall State Sen. (now congressman) Tom McClintock versus Arnold Schwarzenegger in the race to replace Gov. Gray Davis. The battle cry of the Republican moderates was, 'Only a moderate like Arnold can win.'
"Win he did. And what did Republican party actually win? A RINO (Republican in name only) who sold out on virtually every principle for which he and his party ostensibly stand, including fiscal responsibility. One need only look at the financial ruin that is California today to recognize that Arnold makes Gray Davis look like Calvin Coolidge, by comparison.
"This is not to say that Carly Fiorina would follow the time-dishonored path of other RINOs. But a surer bet not to be another John McCain in the Senate is Chuck DeVore. DeVore's military background is as intelligence officer. That commodity has been seriously lacking in the GOP."
We asked Uncle Lee if that constituted an endorsement. Replied Lee: "I believe it speaks for itself, although either should be an improvement over Babsie."
In perhaps a related story, Rodgers old KSFO co-host Melanie Morgan has resurfaced -- as part of DeVore's press team.

At least we still have the “Babe in the Bunker” Barbara Simpson. I wish KSFO would build up some local talent again.
Yeah, I miss Jim Eason. I pretty much grew up on Eason.
The Babe, Yes!
not sure why Ian Punnett is on at Coast to Coast and not her anymore.. we could definitely use a few more like her and Jim.
one Uncre Ree may be enough. :-)
