What was she thinking?

DFL representative Phyllis Kahn was caught stealing a Republican representative's campaign literature from people's homes recently. She may face possible charges.

I don't get this at all. It wasn't even her opponent; it was a legislator from a suburban district. Rep. Kahn has been around forever and should definitely know better than this. This kind of petty stuff happens in campaigns all the time, but no candidate is ever foolish enough to get caught doing it themselves; the perpetrators are usually overzealous volunteers. This is just sad.
