Weldon campaign calls for help... a bit early
Anticipating trouble, it called the police. They found an Eagle Scout taking notes for Sestak.

Expecting a demonstration by the liberal activist group MoveOn.org, Weldon's campaign called the police to a campaign event Friday in Springfield, Delaware County.

The officer responding found only Ross Doppelt, 18, a campaign volunteer from Havertown for Democratic challenger Joe Sestak.

Doppelt, an Eagle Scout and an honor student, was taking notes on Weldon's remarks to report back to the Sestak braintrust, a tactic that both sides employ.

"I wasn't completely sure why they came up to me and no one else," Doppelt said of his meeting with Springfield's finest.

The police officer was equally perplexed, apparently. When he didn't find any marchers or placards, he approached Weldon's staff, who pointed out Doppelt "as a possible protester," said Police Lt. William Clark.

"He wasn't doing anything," Clark said. The police wouldn't intervene in a lawful protest, he said.

Some repub also told me that DU was on some government list as an extremist organization. Personally, I think most Americans are extremists. The mainstream are actually a very tiny minority.

5. lol you're right on the last paragraph:

"Weldon is someone who believes that the jury is still out on weapons of mass destruction, so he has a habit of perceiving threats that are not really there," said Sestak spokesman Ryan Rudominer.
