California Senate hopeful Carly Fiorina has released what is perhaps the most bizarre campaign video of all time, featuring an actor in brown dress shoes on his hands and knees wearing a red-eyed sheep costume, a label for her opponent that makes little sense, and a tag line more appropriate for a vitamin or hand soap than a Senate candidacy.
In the video, Fiorina attacks Tom Campbell, one of her Republican primary opponents, as a F-C-I-N-O, a Financial Conservative in Name Only (a take-off of RINO, or Republican in Name Only -- the label sometimes applied to moderate Republicans such as Fiorina).
The three-minute-plus spot ends with a shadowy vision of Fiorina in a board room and asks, "Might there be a better choice?"
Video, including "the demon sheep" (as the ad has been dubbed inside the Beltway), is below:
In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
