She's not the first legislator to steal lit or signs from opposing candidates or causes. I think it was good she was caught - because this was a good teachable moment for all legislators - and campaign people.
I've taken one piece of literature in the past, when I've door knocked or lit dropped for people - but have never taken multiple pieces - which is what Kahn did. Taking one piece is an opposition research sort of thing. I also tend to pick up literature from opposing candidates at candidate forums - and give that to campaign managers or candidates who i'm volunteering for. This isn't at the level of Sandra Hillary and her gambling/corruption scandals. The Republican Party endorsed a candidate from Students for Family Values - Amanda Hutchings I believe - and I asked about Amanda on the SFV website - and Amanda hasn't been working this district. Amanda was a pathetic choice for the Republicans. They could have done decently with a moderate candidate - but the crowd that shows up to conventions are the Leviticus Crowd types. Students for Family Values folks are debating over whether to support Bush or Peroutka (the constitution party candidate) in their web forum. There seem to be more of them supporting Peroutka.
