Didier, Akers join forces, but still vying for Senate nomination

[ccharles000]

Republican U.S. Senate candidates Clint Didier and Paul Akers made an unusual announcement Thursday — they will be joining forces for the campaign, setting aside the fact they are competing on the ballot for the same seat.

The two anti-establishment candidates said they would start doing joint radio ads and talking in joint online forums. Both said they are upset at the political establishment — a not-too-subtle dig at Republican front-runner Dino Rossi, who was recruited by national Republican leaders. Didier and Akers said the political establishment is trying to control the election.

While a weaker candidate sometimes drops out of a race to help a stronger candidate win more votes, it's unusual for two candidates to join forces and both stay in the race.

"To my knowledge, no one has ever done this before," said Akers during an online radio broadcast. "We are innovators, to say the least."
