Sen. Rick Santorum’s (R-PA) spokeswoman Virginia Davis offered a ringing endorsement of Green candidate Carl Romanelli in today’s USA Today piece on third party candidates affecting certain races around the country. Yes, she admits that the campaign steered Republican dollars towards Romanelli, but they did it so that his voice was heard:
“We encouraged those who inquired to help with the Green Party effort…. We welcome Carl Romanelli’s entry into the race because at least he’s expressed a real interest in being up front and honest about where he is on the issues.”
It seems that Romanelli was right when he commended his Republican donors last month for their commitment to a “free and open debate.”
