Dem. Field Operative Stalks Scott Brown by Canoe

This is the world that overly psycho political opposition research has brought: a Democratic field operative with a camera, stalking a GOP Senate candidate by canoe, in the hopes that the candidate would be doing something scandalous. Like, say, snorting cocaine. On a canoe.

According to Concord NH Patch, this actually happened to Scott Brown today:

Look… There they are!

What was the point of this intrepid canoe spy? To goad Brown into attacking him with a paddle? To catch Brown sleeping with an underage hooker on a canoe? To capture Brown meeting with Mexican drug lords on the sleepy Merrimack River? To blast Brown for canoeing like a fat cat, painting him as out-of-touch with the canoe-obsessed residents of New Hampshire?

Because we certainly have no goddamn idea why this is necessary.
