• CA-Sen: LA Mayor Villaraigosa predicts no Republican upset in California's U.S. Senate race
  Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa popped up on CNN’s "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer" Tuesday afternoon and said there’s no way the California U.S. Senate race will end in a Republican upset, a la Scott Brown in Massachusetts.

  The June 8 primary features a GOP trio: multimillionaire businesswoman Carly Fiorina, Orange County Assemblyman Chuck DeVore and former Rep. Tom Campbell. But Villaraigosa said fellow Democrat Barbara Boxer is a tough campaigner and too tuned in with California voters to lose her Senate reelection bid in November, even at a time when voters have soured on incumbents.

  Mayor Villar still thinks he is popular too.

• Political Junkie Watch: C-Span Puts Its Full Archives on the Web
  Researchers, political satirists and partisan mudslingers, take note: C-Span has uploaded virtually every minute of its video archives to the Internet.
  The archives, at C-SpanVideo.org, cover 23 years of history and five presidential administrations and are sure to provide new fodder for pundits and politicians alike. The network will formally announce the completion of the C-Span Video Library on Wednesday.

  Having free online access to the more than 160,000 hours of C-Span footage is “like being able to Google political history using the ‘I Feel Lucky’ button every time,” said Rachel Maddow, the liberal MSNBC host.

  Ed Morrissey, a senior correspondent for the conservative blog Hot Air (hotair.com), said, “The geek in me wants to find an excuse to start digging.”

The National Organization for Marriage as an independent expenditure group has HIT Republican U.S. Senate candidate Tom Campbell with this television commercial.

A national group opposed to gay marriage on Monday launched 30-second ads attacking Republican U.S. Senate candidate Tom Campbell for his stance against Proposition 8, the 2008 voter-approved initiative to define marriage in the state constitution as between a man and a woman.

The New Jersey-based National Organization for Marriage said it is spending $275,000 on ads that suggest Campbell, a moderate Republican, is not much different from “liberal Barbara Boxer.” The ads are largely airing on cable television with large numbers of Republican voters, including the Sacramento region, San Diego County and Orange County, according to NOM executive director Brian Brown.

They are first television ads to air for or against any of the U.S. Senate candidates in California this year. Brown said NOM paid for the ads as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization, which is not required to disclose its donors.

The NOM ad makes two points about Campbell’s positions last year supporting some temporary tax hikes to help offset a $40 billion budget deficit, suggesting that his tax views are little different from Boxer’s. The ad’s final point is that Campbell opposed Proposition 8, like Boxer.

Frankly, I am suprised that the IE conservative groups have have come out this early. Guess they want to erode Campbell’s poll lead before Carly Fiorina begins her television ads.

This is an effective contrast ad and along with Campbell’s problem with Israel and supporting Islamic terrorists will be played over and over again as the June primary approaches.
