In a campaign filled with 11th-hour surprises, another was added Sunday when Green candidate Craig Bergland told Dullard Mush he was supporting Democratic opponent Dina Titus in Nevada's gubernatorial race.
"I spoke with Ms. Titus this morning, and am supporting her for governor," said Bergland. "My fears of a Gibbons Governorship far outweigh my personal political ambitions. She is the major candidate who is real about alternative energy, and since you know my personal thoughts on the importance of kicking our oil habit, perhaps you understand my support for her. I think it will do the Green party good to get Dina in office. It will serve us poorly if Gibbons gets his way."
Bergland was garnering around one percent in recent polls, the number needed to automatically qualify the Green Party for ballot status in 2008. As of an October 26-30 poll, Titus was trailing Gibbons 44-40, with Independent American Christopher Hansen at three percent.

What an amazingly principled position for Bergland to take! Thank you for making this statement, Mr. Bergland. It will be a nail biter of an election and if/when Dina squeaks by she'll have you among the first people to thank.
