Campaign Extra!: What crawls under a Stone

Election 2004

What crawls under a Stone

The campaign of Arlen Specter is confirming what Campaign Extra! and Dave Davies of the Philadelphia Daily News reported late last week: That GOP political dirty trickster Roger Stone is the man behind those mysterious "Kerry-Specter" yard signs that started appearing in Philadelphia's blue-collar neighborhoods.

Specter campaign manager Christopher Nicholas said yesterday that he called Stone last weekend and asked him to put an end to the campaign. "I made the call Saturday morning," Nicholas said. "We asked him to stop and he agreed." Nicholas continues to insist he knew nothing of the independent effort until we called him.

Of course, they probably had Stone's number in their Rolodex -- since the controversial Stone (linked to a riot during the Florida recount and maybe even the apparently forged '60 Minutes' memos) was the manager of Specter's short-lived 1996 presidential campaign (which was so short-lived it ended in 1995).

(Explainer to our out-of-town fans: The yard signs help Specter because Kerry's going to get a whopping 80 percent of the Philly vote, and so the only way the "moderate" Bush-backing Specter can defeat Democrat Joe Hoeffel is with ticket splitting in the city's white neighborhoods. Kerry, of course, is actually backing Hoeffel.)

Today, the Daily News has an interesting new angle. It turns out that Stone's former business partner and an ex-Specter aide, Craig Snyder, had formed an independent group last spring to place ads on Christian radio in central Pennsylvania attacking Specter's primary opponent, U.S. Rep. Pat Toomey, as being soft on abortion. Dirty trick? Well, Toomey was actually the anti-abortion candidate of the two.

Snyder says he hasn't worked with Stone in three years. That may well be true. But it sure is interesting how these ex-cronies of Specter just happen to know, on their own, how to help their pal get elected -- with signs that link a Bush supporter to John Kerry and with ads that accuse a candidate of being soft on abortion, when Specter allegedly supports abortion rights himself.

But then, politics makes strange bedfellows.

What, exactly, is the big deal about these signs anyway?

If some independant group supports Kerry for President but Specter for Senate, what's the problem? That it "confuses" voters? Well, then that's the confused voters problem. It doesn't take a hell of a lot of effort to know, or find out, that Kerry is a Democrat and Specter is a Republican.

Pennsylvanians are known for splitting tickets. You know, this is the state that went for Al Gore for President but Rick Santorum for Senate in 2000.

I know it sucks for Democrats that their candidate running against Specter is a complete and total embarrassment and an empty suit (a left-wing empty suit at that), but this is just silly.

"...Specter is a complete and total embarrassment". I agree. Anybody associated with the Warren Commission is an embarrassment. :)
