Apparently Erin Brockovich, famous for her legal fight against Pacific Gas & Electric over their poisoning of drinking water (as portrayed in the movie "Erin Brockovich" staring Julia Roberts), is supporting Republican Tony Strickland for CA state senate.

I'm a consumer advocate and a Democrat, but I'm also an independent thinker. And so is Tony Strickland," Brockovich says in the ad.
Also interesting are her views on Sarah Palin:
Brockovich may be a Democrat, but in her blog recently she said she is considering becoming an independent -- in the same entry that she praised GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.
"Some of the comments about Sarah Palin have been unfair and I don't say that because blogs say she is 'Sarah Brockovich' or 'half Ronald Reagan half Erin Brockovich' or 'The Erin Brockovich of Alaska,'" she wrote. "I am proud to be a member of the same Strong Woman's Club that Sarah Palin is in."
