Paranoia Thy Name Is Minnesota?

It is being reported that Senator Mark Dayton of Minnesota is abandoning his Capitol Hill office in fear of a potential pre-election terrorist attack on Washington D.C. He has relocated his staff to elsewhere in Washington and is justifying the move by citing a "classified report" that no one else is allowed to see. Is this a sign of paranoia? Is it a political stunt to get the democratic senator some attention in this political season. Or, as I am guessing, is this really a setup for a John Kerry debate point tomorrow night: "Mr. President, How can you say the Iraq War has made us safer, if Congressmen are fleeing the capital in panic?"
