Hahn's milking of 'Homeboyz'

It's been four days since the release of the inflammatory web video depicting Janice Hahn as a stripper who let killer gang members go free in Los Angeles.

But the California Democratic congressional candidate appears to be the only one still talking about it.

On Saturday, Hahn released a press release asking Republican Craig Huey to formally demand the video be taken down.

On Friday, her campaign put out an e-mail trying to fundraise off the ad.

But even with Huey's denunciation of the spot released by a reclusive third party right-wing PAC, Hahn's camp continues to fan the flames.  Could this be their way to rally the base that appears less than motivated to turn out in a mid-July special election?

Huey's team sure thinks so. After all, he didn't release the ad.  He denounced the ad.  He's basically powerless in trying to get the ad down and it's not running anywhere but the web.

"We officially demand that Hahn and her supporters take it down.  They are the only ones circulating it on the Internet or anywhere," Huey spokesman Dave Gilliard told POLITICO Saturday.  "The only reason this racist video has received any exposure is because Janice Hahn has attempted to profit from it.  Her shameful actions are a testimony to the shallowness of her candidacy."

The ad, placed on YouTube, had received more than a half a million hits by Saturday evening.
