Desperate times call for desperate measures, but since when did voodoo become a viable campaign strategy?

Voodoo priestess George Ann Mills claims County Commissioner Annette Kesting of Cobb County, Ga., approached her in August and asked her to use voodoo against opponent Woody Thompson. Among Kesting's requests? Cause him to have an accident, or, uh, give him cancer. Go, democracy!

As if that weren't shady enough, Kesting's checks and money orders then bounced. She's denying all allegations and claims that her beater car wouldn't even make the 240-mile trip to George Ann's shop in Blythwood, S.C.

That's a pretty beat campaign, considering the incumbent is bouncing checks and driving a hooptie. We'd rather be commissioner of a section at the Olive Garden where the pay is $7.75 plus tips.
