California Senate Race Web Wars Heat Up (VIDEO)

branding Carly Fiorina as "Carly Failorina", dwelling on her controversial six year tenure at HP which culminated with her termination in 2005. Video from the site can be seen below.

Fiorina has launched her own campaign aimed at GOP challenger Tom Campbell. According to the Times

Fiorina launched a website and video of her own, labeling one of her primary opponents, former U.S. Rep. Tom Campbell, as a "Fiscal Conservative In Name Only," or a FCINO. The painful acronym is a takeoff on a "RINO," or a Republican In Name Only, which both Fiorina and Campbell have been accused of being by conservative members of the GOP.
