This is one of the reasons I am not big on third parties. They are not always third parties.
As reported today by the AP and the Philadelphia Inquirer,
the Green Party managed to get their candidate Carl Romanelli on the
ballot with a costly petition drive, which was mostly funded by
contributors who had also given to Rick Santorum’s campaign. The party
raised $66,000 for the effort, all of which they spent on a private
company to collect signatures. TPMmuckraker was able to establish that
at least $55,000 of that came from conservatives.
Good on Rick. When we talk about having no choices in Pennsylvania, we mean it.
