TPMmuckraker: Update on Santorum Dirty Trick

TPMmuckraker: Paul Kiel does some journalism and discovers the entire funding for the Green Candidate, designed to siphone votes from Santorum's Dem opponent, came from conservative GOPers. This is a travesty, and I hope it boomerangs on Ricky: "OK, we've done it. We've nailed it down: Every single contributor to the Pennsylvania Green Party Senate candidate is actually a conservative -- except for the candidate himself.

The Luzerne County Green Party raised $66,000 in the month of June in order to fund a voter signature drive. The Philly Inquirer reported yesterday that $40,000 came from supporters of Rick Santorum's campaign (or their housemates). Also yesterday, we confirmed that another $15,000 came from GOP donors and conservatives. Only three contributions, totaling $11,000, remained as possible legit donations.

Today, I confirmed that those came from GOP sources."
