Ottawa mother rattles U.S. race
"WASHINGTON - Civil rights lawyer Ellen Simon appeared to be comfortably cruising to victory in next month's Democratic primary in Arizona, earning herself a longshot bid for the U.S. Congress.
Then came a determined voice from the north.
Suddenly, an obscure party primary with no national profile has become one of the hottest, dirtiest and most litigious political races in the United States.
For that, one can thank Pamela Tanner of Ottawa.
She injected herself in the race by posting comments on political blogs in Arizona about her longstanding child-support battle with Blaine Tanner, Simon's husband and the man once immortalized on the front page of the Star as one of Canada's most notorious deadbeat dads."
