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

Shawn Steel, a former California Republican Party chairman and currently a RNC National Committeeman, trashed Republican Senatorial hopeful Tom Campbell and his alleged associations with Sami al-Arian in a post published on the conservative Flash Report. Steel’s comments are just the latest in a series of conservative attacks on Campbell’s foreign policy that influenced the former lawmaker’s strategy in last week’s debate

Carly Fiorina lodged harsh attacks on Tom Campbell, branding her fellow Republican senatorial hopeful as “anti-Israel” and raising connections with a Palestinian immigrant that pleaded guilty to working with Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The charges are based on several articles published by conservative publications, Commentary Magazine and the American Spectator

More bad press for Carly Fiorina’s “demon sheep” web video. Tom Campbell denies making any deals to leave the gubernatorial race with Meg Whitman. Fiorina suggests bankruptcy be on the table as a solution for the state’s financial problems. The American Spectator attacked Campbell as “anti-Israel.” Fiorina offers healthcare reforms implemented fifteen years ago

The web video was mercilessly and almost universally mocked and derided online as the “wildest,” “weirdest,” and perhaps “worst political video ever.” And they probably paid $15k for it. Need more evidence that the video is an epic failure? National Review loved it, calling the ad “genius.”

A poll produced for Tom Campbell’s newly-minted Senate campaign, and handed out to attendees at his kickoff rally, places the former gubernatorial candidate ahead of both Carly Fiorina and Chuck DeVore.

Conducted by James Fisfis, VP of Wilson Research Strategies, the survey was conducted January 8-10 with a sample of 1,027 likely general election voters and a margin of ±3 percent

It was first reported several days ago but Tom Campbell made it official. He abandoned his race for governor to campaign for the Republican nomination to the U.S. Senate. Campbell admitted he was out-moneyed for the governorship by two billionaires.

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

Tom Campbell’s campaign planned large events for Thursday and Friday. Jerry McNerney spoke to reporters about a December trip to Afghanistan. Robert Beadles filed a lawsuit regarding his arrest over allegedly stolen property. Elizabeth Emken was profiled in a local paper, and more

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
