Sen. Barbara Boxer’s campaign has released a new TV ad, “Out of Touch,” that blasts Republican Carly Fiorina’s positions on guns, offshore drilling, social security, and abortion — and notes that former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has endorsed Fiorina.

“Carly Fiorina, she’s against banning assault weapons and that’s reckless and dangerous,” says the narrator. “She’s for risky new oil drilling that could threaten our jobs.”

“Fiorina’s plan would mean slashing Social Security and Medicare, which would devastate seniors,” continues the narrator. “And she’d make abortion a crime. No wonder Fiorina is endorsed by Sarah Palin.”

An October Field Poll showed that 58 percent of Californians had unfavorable views of Palin. Fiorina, who will not be attending a California fundraiser headlined by Palin tomorrow, told CNN on Monday that Palin was “certainly … qualified to be president of the United States.”

“Carly Fiorina, just too extreme for California,” the narrator concludes.

Boxer also highlighted Fiorina’s views on abortion at a press conference last night, where she was accompanied by several prominent pro-choice advocates, including NARAL Pro-Choice America president Nancy Keenan and California Democratic congresswomen Laura Richardson, Diane Watson, and Jane Harman.

“Make no mistake about it, a women’s right to choose is on the ballot in California this year, and it is very stark, it is Boxer, pro-choice vs. Fiorina, anti-choice. I know that if we stand together, if we work together, if we make our voices heard together, we will win and choice will win once again,” said Boxer.

In a radio debate held late September, Fiorina, who is pro-life, argued that Boxer was misrepresenting her position on abortion. “Barbara Boxer engages frequently in a shocking misrepresentation of my record, but nowhere is that more unconscionable than her continued assertion that I support the criminalization of abortion,” she argued.

“She knows very well that this is not true. There are no circumstances under which a woman in California would be denied an abortion. … Barbara Boxer is engaging in this kind of misrepresentation to change the subject. To change the subject from her own extreme views, which are that a baby doesn’t have rights until it leaves the hospital. To change the subject from her own extreme views that a girl seeking an abortion at 12 shouldn’t have to notify her mother,” Fiorina said.

The Boxer ad will air in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
