California Republicans say that is something that has been little examined in the course of previous campaigns, but which is essential to highlight in a year where the three-term Senator\u2019s approval ratings are lagging while California\u2019s economy remains on proverbial life support.\u201d\u00a0(\u201cCarly Fiorina Slams Boxer in New, Outrageous Video<\/a>,\u201d BigGovernment, 3\/13\/10)<\/p>\n

Fiorina Portrayed As \u201cThe Only Republican To Emerge In 18 Years Who Can Deflate The Blimp.\u201d\u201cTitled \u2018Hot Air,\u2019 the movie depicts Democrat Boxer as a blimp that floats from Washington, D.C. to California advocating a larger role for the federal government and a variety of tax increases.

Hot Air The \u201cHighlight\u201d Of Fiorina\u2019s Speech. \u201cAll the fiery rhetoric aside, and notwithstanding the full ear blast of Van Halen\u2019s \u2018Jump\u2019 which closed the Hurricane\u2019s star turn, the highlight of her coming out act was \u2018Hot Air: The Movie.\u2019\u201d\u00a0(\u201cGOP Extra II: New Boffo Hit By Demon Sheep Auteur<\/a>,\u201d Calbuzz, 3\/13\/10)<\/p>\n

Boxer Depicted \u201cAs Enamored With Her Own Image And Out Of Touch With Californians.\u201d \u201c[Fiorina] introduced herself to the state’s GOP convention Saturday with a campaign movie called Hot Air, which depicts the three-term Boxer as enamored with her own image and out of touch with Californians.\u201d\u00a0(Kevin Freking, \u201cFiorina assails Washington, Boxer as out of touch<\/a>,\u201d Associated Press, 3\/13\/10)<\/p>\n

Video Shows Fiorina Thinks Outside The Box. \u201cThe point of a web video is to make people talk about the ad. While you can criticize the weirdness of the ad, Fiorina’s team gets points for thinking outside the box and sticking the their guns after to much criticism of their previous video.\u201d\u00a0(Aaron Blake, \u201cFrom Demon Sheep to Hindenboxer<\/a>,\u201d The Hill, 3\/13\/10)<\/p>\n
