New Yorkers take note: spying on the opposition, famous as a Boston vice, has moved south for the summer, allegedly. Not to the Meadowlands, but to Brooklyn and Queens, where, according to the Republican Bob Turner, the Democrat nominee for the U.S. House David Weprin has repeatedly tried to place a mole in his Republican rival’s campaign.
The New York Post reports the story:
Turner campaign spokesman William O’Reilly charged that Assemblyman Weprin “is sending young people into Turner campaign headquarters pretending to be volunteers or college reporters. We have caught four of them already.”
“Only a career politician scrambling to save his hide would sink to such a low.”
Weprin spokeswoman Liz Kerr said, “I don’t know anything about it.”

Weprin spokeswoman Liz Kerr said, “I don’t know anything about it.”
With Election Day looming on Sep. 13th, Weprin has developed a knack for bad press. He skipped a debate this week at the last minute, prompting the local media that arranged the event to call him “wormy” and a “coward.”
