(Reuters) - An actor in a sheep costume with "demon eyes" is seen in a screen grab captured February 5, 2010 from a controversial web-based political advertisement video posted by the campaign of California Republican U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina. A bizarre campaign ad by Fiorina featuring what has been dubbed a "Demon Sheep" has transcended California politics to become an Internet sensation, but analysts wonder if it was such a good idea. But political experts say the point behind the three-minute, 21-second blurb, attacking Fiorina's top rival for the Republican nomination, Tom Campbell, as a "fiscal conservative in name only," may have been lost.
