Santorum and Dirty Tricks: His Staff Caught Pitching for Green Party Candidate

Should we believe Rick Santorum - who's doing pretty badly against his challenger as the incumbent junior senator from Pennsylvania - is just trying to help democracy by having his staff "aid" the Green Party candidate? Or is it possible that "Man on Dog" Wal-Mart Corporate Jet Ricky is trying to subvert democracy by screwing over his Democratic party rival?

My bet is on the latter.
