With former GOP Congressman Tom Cambell switching from the race for Governor to the race for the Senate seat in California, he clearly poses more of a challenge for Carly Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard and sometimes registered voter, than he does for State Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, who is the darling of the Tea Party set. Well, she's not leaving anything to chance apparently. In an Internet-only ad that could only be described as insane, Carly Fiorina has yet again demonstrated that she's ready to set new lows for the California GOP. And here, I thought that Chuch DeVore was the lunatic of the bunch or should I say flock.

But these are desperate times for Carly the billionairness and destroyer of corporate valuations. According to a Public Policy Institute of California (pdf.) poll conducted in mid January, Tom Campbell is leading both Carly Fiorina and Chuck DeVore in the race to win the Republican nomination for the right to challenge Senator Barbara Boxer in the fall.

Campbell polls 27 percent among likely voters compared to 16 percent for Fiorina and 8 percent for DeVore. But there's still 48 percent who haven't focused or made up their minds. The margin of error for primary voters is 5 points.
