Carly Fiorina’s Senate Campaign Still On LSD With New “Hot Air” Ad

video
» 6 comments


Because portraying competitor Tom Campbell as some sort of laser-shooting evil sheep wasn’t weird enough, California Senate hopeful Carly Fiorina has now set her sights – and Terry Gilliam-wannabe ad guy Fred Davis III – on current Democratic Junior Senator Barbara Boxer. We don’t want to give too much away, but it is very, very weird.




Well one thing you have to give Fiorina: She’s certainly original. Still, at the time of this video’s premiere today at the State Republican Convention, 30% of Republican voters remain undecided. Maybe it’s time for another ad, but with Fiorina herself as a giant Godzilla as a metaphor for her crushing the Democratic health care bill…or something.

    This is Pink Floyd meets Independence Day-fantastic!

    I don’t know if it will be Ms. Fiorina, but I hope someone gets “medieval” on Ms. Boxer’s ass.

    Fantastical and powerful. I loved it. Boxer will hate it. Simply dismissing it as “weird” says more about the author of the piece than it does the ad, obviously.

    I’ve yet to figure out what Ms. Fiorina’s claim to fame is, other than making money from firing hard working men and women. Maybe that’s what California needs now, but I’d like to think the people of California might do better.

    Yet another fail of an ad!

    Spectacular.

    This narrator sounds like an SNL skit gone bad.

    Boxer is all but guaranteed a win.

    And thank God, Carly is a joke.

    Carly Fiorina and her kind are precisely what’s wrong with California. All the sane people and all the industries are leaving. Prediction: California will ask for–and RECEIVE–a federal bailout.

    It will take someone like Fiorino, with enough money to achieve parity with the Democratic donor base, to challenge and defeat Boxer. It is amazing that someone with Boxer’s intellectual limitations should have achieved her level of power and incompetence, but even more amazing that she is still the odd’s-on favorite for reelection.
