Politics does indeed make
strange bedfellows, but this one seems to be on the order of the Pennsylvania
Dutch custom of having the prospective bride and groom sleep in the same bed
with a board between them (and a shotgun toting father of the prospective bride
somewhere in the house). It seems
that some of the donations that helped the Green Party in Pennsylvania get
enough signatures to land their candidate for the U.S. Senate on the ballot
came from – Republicans! The story is
that people friendly to the Santorum campaign gave money to the Greens hoping
they would draw votes away from Bobby Casey.
The Democrats, of course, are thinking about going to court since they
seem to think that is where every election should actually be decided. I think even they will have to admit that it
was a smart move on the part of the Santorum campaign.
