Blaming Barbara Boxer for a host of America's woes, the Narrator offers... 'Since this stimulus, unemployment in California has climbed to over 12 percent, the worst since the end of the Great Depression. Our national debt is now over $12 trillion. Homegrown terrorist opening fire and killing soldiers on an American military base. Foreign terrorists, trying to blow an American airplane on Christmas Day.'

Boxer's campaign manager Rose Kapolczynski offered "Not even another bizarre video can distract voters from Fiorina's record as a failed CEO who laid off 28,000 workers and shipped California jobs overseas." ouch!

The joke is on Fiorina - she ends up looking like a mad, hell-sent harpie preaching a doomsday message. Not very elected official-like.

1. One word: "DOOPID"

If you have nothing to run on, you run the fog machine, put on scary music and tell ghost stories. The only ghosts are Fiorina's record with HP and the McCain campaign.

2. It doesn't fail miserably until Fiorina loses the election. Preferably in a landslide.

3. That was actually quite effective, on a visceral level.

It was pretty weird, but in a pretty cool way. It was also slick and professional looking. If I lived in California, and didn't know any better, I might be tempted to reevaluate Boxer. You can't say the ad was a failure based on the fact that it was full of lies. You should know that voters respond to this kind of shit, and that a lie is only revealed as a lie if it is challenged and silenced. If this goes unanswered, and Fiorina keeps repeating it, Boxer will lose.

4. Notice she does not allow comments to be posted.
She like Meg Whitman and Linda "Monkey Trainer" McMahon along with Bloomberg are the new Republicans, the one's who will buy the office with their fortunes.

6. That was the dumbest fucking thing I've ever seen!
It will cost her a fortune if she runs that piece of shit full length on the TeeVee, and she will still lose.

My intense hatred for repukes know no bounds. Failorina blames Boxer for the depression caused by The Big Dick And His Trained Chimp? :silly:

7. Funny Carly failed to mention "Republican" or "GOP" in her whole ad
must have been an oversight, right?

8. Fiorina out, HP stock soars
it will be very easy for Boxer to debunk Fiorina's ridiculous claims of great success at HP.

Fiorina out, HP stock soars

http://money.cnn.com/2005/02/09/technology/hp_fiorina/index.htm

Shares of HP (Research) jumped 6.9 percent in heavy trading on the New York Stock Exchange Wednesday on the news. But at one point, the stock was up as much as 10.5 percent.

"The stock is up a bit on the fact that nobody liked Carly's leadership all that much," said Robert Cihra, an analyst with Fulcrum Global Partners. "The Street had lost all faith in her and the market's hope is that anyone will be better."
