The air war continues in California

Carly Fiorina is still fighting hard against No Ma’am Boxer, and it’s good to see. I like this one, it’s short and it’s simple. It takes extra work to cut your typical online ad down to a 30 second (minus BCRA requirement) slam, and done well it matters:


She also has a second ad up that is going to make some readers here cringe I suspect, but that’s because in order to win she does have to make some sort of outreach to Democrats and especially to moderate and center-left independents in order to get the plurality of the vote:

But of course, you can take it any way you like when she says she’ll oppose the GOP when it’s wrong. How long did we let earmarks run fast and free? We were wrong then, as earmarks are the gateway drug to corruption. Just ask Duke Cunningham.

Candidates like Carly Fiorina, Sharron Angle, and Dino Rossi are out here in the west fighting lousy incumbents. We can get them over the top, and must if we want 51 votes in the Senate, and then tell Barack Obama who won.

    I’ve become more conservative since the $700 Billion Crap Sandwich (TARP). The party line at that time was to pass TARP and they were wrong there. If she’s willing to stand up against stuff that, then I’ll support her.

    Of course, whether people will listen or better still hear the message…….

    directly to the people rather than through surrogate voiceovers. And Carly’s line: Washington won’t change unless you vote to change the people you send there” absolutely rocks.

    and I hope they are played book ended around program segments.

    These need to be aired in strong Dem areas, I think they will make any Boxer supporter (excepting the rabid, of course) think again.

    I love that Carly smiles sincerely and her tag line “change the people you send” is great!

    The firs ad sound like simply recycled political talk talk talk.

    “Cut spending”. Gee-NOBODY has ever promised THAT before.

    The second ad is better. This country needs solutions, not slogans
