Fiorina and DeVore participate in the Glenn Beck primary

February 08, 2010 7:29 pm ET by Jeremy Holden

On February 8, Glenn Beck's Fox News show broadcast from California. Beck took the opportunity to host his very own Republican primary.

First up: former Hewlett-Packard CEO -- and one-time adviser to John McCain's presidential campaign -- Carly Fiorina, who discussed the virtues of the founding fathers and citizen lawmakers.  

After a quick commercial timeout, Beck hosted Tea Party favorite Chuck DeVore, who proceeded to explain how progressives are destroying America.

Beck made clear he was not endorsing a candidate. Just so long as we all agreed that progressives are a disease.

UPDATE: Early results are coming in

From the Twitter account of DeVore adviser Justin Hart, accessed February 8:

      And they all felt sheepish afterwards.

      Am I completely naive in thinking there is an equal time rule in place for networks that host candidates?

        Well there was once a fairness doctrine. Reagon seemed to see no value in it, so it died.
