In an attempt to cause MAS confusion at the polls, a certain someone signed the tea party candidate's petition - which the newspaper claims partially caused this whole thing to unravel.

How do some of these newer posters know who MAS117 was?

His name came up before, when this story initially broke a few months ago without a direct tie to the Adler campaign.

The article says he's working for Coons. Who will win. It's Adler who's screwed here -- he'd probably have won had he not done this stupid garbage. (Not that he's lost yet, of course.)

Wouldn't it be ironic if O'Donnell makes an issue out of it, at least to assist in fundraising from Tea Party members?  My opponent hires dirty tricksters who put fake Tea Party candidates on the ballot to hurt Republicans.

As a follow up, Republicans have filed suit here that the actions of the Adler campaign violated campaign finance laws. Having Adler staffers recruit DeStefano into the race and work to collect signatures represents an unreported in-kind contribution, or so it goes.

Good luck with that one.  It seems like the type of lawsuit you file for partisan reasons but probably won't win.
