Smart politics

Picture this:

1. GOP incumbent isn't really popular
2. Democratic challenger is popular, moderate, and has popular father
3. GOP incumbent helps a more liberal candidate get on the ballot to siphon votes from his strong Democratic challenger.

If you ask me, that's just smart politics.

(And just see how anti-choice/options/democracy the Democrats get over this "political ploy." Of course, they're right; it is a political ploy. But, oh, is it a good political ploy!)
