CQ reported today that Senate candidate Carly Fiorina will be doing joint fundraising with the National Republican Senatorial Committee -- forming the "Fiorina Victory Committee." Last week, Fiorina gave the weekly national Republican radio address. The Chuck DeVore campaign has criticized the NRSC extensively for its perceived favoritism of her over him, although it conceded that it has not tried to fundraise with the NRSC.

Fiorina has argued that she is the more electable Republican candidate against Senator Barbara Boxer, but polls have indicated that Fiorina's head on head chances versus Barbara Boxer are taking a hit. The latest Rasmussen poll , which was released on November 20th, showed Fiorina nine points behind Boxer in the general election. In July, before Boxer had officially declared, Fiorina was down four points. The more recent poll showed DeVore ten points behind Boxer in the general election. So, if one believes the polls, there is only one point difference versus Boxer in the general election.
