"Politics makes for STRANGE bed fellows", as Stumbo joins Lunsford to spend "what it takes to win."

It is often said that politics makes for STRANGE bedfellows to the point that the saying has become a cliche'. But nothing can be STRANGER than the political marriage between Bruce Lunsford, who broke ranks with his fellow Democrats and endorsed the campaign of Gov. Fletcher in 2003, and Greg Stumbo, the Attorney General, who tormented the Governor through the merit system investigations and indictments. "Big spender" Bruce Lunsford has vowed to spend "what it takes to win" and has given his campaign an initial down payment of $2 million, while calling the Fletcher endorsement a mistake. His decision to now run and "want [to be Governor] because ... it’s been neglected for several years," does nothing to improve his chances with fellow Democrats, and Stumbo's denials that the merit system investigations were politically motivated, as "he has no plans to run for Governor" (oh yes, I forgot, he's running for Lt. Governor!) equally adds nothing to their political union, except, perhaps, headaches from Stumbo's hair splittings, reminiscent of President Clinton's "it depends on what the definition of is, is" defense. STRANGE bedfellows, indeed.
