File under “over the line” “classless” “disrespectful” or any other adjective. Carly Fiorina last week called Chuck DeVore’s ballot title “deceptive” on Twitter, referring to his “Assemblyman/Military Reservist” designation. This claim by Fiorina is not only bogus, but downright offensive to all of those who have served our country. How does Fiorina expect to position herself as a pro-military candidate when she publicly belittles the service of a veteran of our military who attained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Army National Guard? Hopefully the person who tweeted that comment on @CarlyForCA’s page has been replaced.
DeVore of course is a Military Reservist, and if Carly honestly thought it was a false title she would have taken it up with the Secretary of State or the Attorney General, not a petty Twitter post. After months of petty actions by the Fiorina campaign nothing should be surprising at this point.
Fiorina’s sleazy Boxeresque attack however ended up being timely. Coincidentally Assemblyman DeVore served in the military for 24 years, and the top rated show “24″ on Fox that ended tonight. DeVore quickly responded with this ad:
This ad spread around the internet preceded DeVore’s commercials that aired on the series finale of “24.” I would love to see what a “24″ themed ad about Fiorina’s military experience would look like. I am imagining scenes with security escorts…of Carly being escorting out of a building from a job from which she has just been fired. (ehh hem Hewlett Packard)

I like Chuck, but at this point in the campaign a vote for Chuck = a vote for the ultra liberal Tom Campbell. Carly is up in the polls, way above the likes of Chuck DeVore and Al Ramirez.
