In a scathing web video fashioned as a film trailer, the DSCC produced sequels to the infamous “Demon Sheep” video and targets all three Republican hopefuls. Carly Fiorina gets hammered as a failed CEO that shipped thousands of jobs overseas, and spotlights Chuck DeVore as an extreme candidate for the Tea Party fringe

Chuck DeVore was the lone Republican that did not show up for the confirmation vote of Abel Maldonado for lieutenant governor. Maldonado was rejected by the State Assembly yesterday. Fox & Hounds noted that DeVore’s absence was likely a tightrope walk for his longshot U.S. Senate bid.

Apparently leadership is not showing up to vote for your principles out of political expediency

DeVore’s money bomb experiment increasingly appears impotent. Despite running ads on the Drudge Report, DeVore’s campaign is still $15,000 shy of their $60,000 goal that they extended over several days. “Money bomb” was described as a “one-day fundraising frenzy.” It seems that despite the weight of Drudge and Red State behind him, DeVore fell flat.

The political action committee for Hewlett Packard donated the $10,000 maximum to Barbara Boxer’s re-election campaign. The chaser: HP’s PAC didn’t donate a single dime to Fiorina. It is a stunning (second) rejection of Fiorina’s leadership

Chuck DeVore, fringe conservative candidate for Senate, boasted that he’s the “next Scott Brown” on Twitter. He was quickly trashed for uttering such an assertion by Patrick Ruffini, a top conservative consultant

Campbell issued an announcement video and penned a column for the conservative California blog, Red County

Spokesman Josh Trevino spread a piece on the entry of Tom Campbell.

Campbell, as finance director, “helped muscle through” the 2005 budget “that expenditures are projected to grow from $81.7 billion in 2004-05 to $90 billion in 2005-06, an increase of over 10 percent.”

DeVore voted for the budget

Tom Campbell will drop his gubernatorial bid and wade into the establishment-tea party primary fight between Carly Fiorina and Chuck DeVore for the party’s Senatorial campaign. Campbell has scheduled two news conferences to make the announcement: one at 9 a.m. in Los Angeles, the other at 2:30 p.m. at the San Jose Fairmont hotel, according

Tom Campbell nears a switch from the governor’s race to make the Senate nomination fight a three-way struggle with Carly Fiorina and Chuck DeVore. Jerry McNerney joined several members of Congress that called on Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai to delay parliamentary elections until election reforms are in place.
