Where have we seen this before? Republicans in Arizona have recruited Green Party candidates in hopes of shaving votes from Democrats in the fall. The Arizona Democratic Party has cried foul - much as the Texas Democratic Party did after a similar effort in the Lone Star State. In Texas, a GOP operative from Arizona engineered a petition drive that put Green Party candidates on the ballot in November. Democrats say the effort is designed to help GOP Gov. Rick Perry by drawing votes away from Democrat Bill White. Perry's campaign denies involvement. But operatives involved in the Green Party petition effort in Texas have ties to Perry's chief consultant, Dave Carney.
