Santorum, Romanelli to debate
Incumbent senator and the Green candidate will have statewide tour. Democrat Casey won’t take part.

Finally, Carl Romanelli will get the chance to face his competition for a U.S. Senate seat, but he’ll have to settle for debating just one of his competitors.

Republican incumbent U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum accepted an invitation from the Wilkes-Barre resident and Green Party candidate to a statewide debating tour during the final two-week push before the election Nov. 7.

That might not matter if Casey is successful in his challenge of roughly 30,000 signatures Romanelli used to get his name on the ballot.

According to Romanelli, the judge presiding over the signature-challenge case said Thursday that if Casey’s challenges hold up, it’s “highly improbable” Romanelli will remain on the ballot.

Romanelli is disgusted with the process, saying, “What it seems to be is that the court is becoming a pawn to the partisanship. As a former officer of the court, that’s despicable.”

I find a certain irony that Romanelli calls the Casey campaign disgusting when this guy had no qualms with getting all of his money from Santorum, all the signatures from Santorum paid company and Santorum signatures and when the Judge evaulating the authenticity of the Green signatures invited Green Candidates to monitor the process - they people who showed up were Santorum volunteers.
