Meet your 2006 Republican ticket

Whatever else you say about Mark Green, he's no fair weather friend. He's a guy who will stand up for you when you're down.

How else to explain Green campaigning with beleaguered Republican US Senate candidate Robert Gerald Lorge, who's been written off by most GOP loyalists since being sued for alleged child molestation? Even Jessica McBride has jumped ship.

Or maybe Green just couldn't figure out how to avoid the encounter at Pulaski Polka Days?

Here they are, ladies and gentlemen, your Republican Dream Team: Mark Andrew Green and Robert Gerald Lorge.


Maybe their campaigns could share the cost of an SUV and they could barnstorm the state together. Or maybe the Democratic Party could pick up the tab.

UPDATE: The new weekly Green Sheet from Green's campaign just arrived, and neither one of these made Photo of the Week.
