Santorum to Assist Rival

Rick Santorum's campaign has spent a lot of media time alerting everyone to the assistance they plan on providing to the Green Party candidate Carl Romanelli. They're trying to get some favorable publicity to offset all the ridicule they keep heaping on themselves from their nominee's bizarre behavior. How altruistic of them to offer aid.... Do you wonder if they'd be doing this for a Constitution Party candidate? No, not a chance.

That's because a progressive, liberal Green candidate would siphon votes from the Democratic nominee. This is especially so since Casey is a conservative. Many Democrats are looking for a real liberal to vote for so having Romanelli on the ballot increases Santorum's chances in November. This is the only reason for Rick Santorum's "generosity."
