Weldon decides to scale back TV advertising

Two days after launching a new advertisement, U.S. Rep. Curt Weldon has canceled some of his TV time, fueling speculation Friday he was throwing in the towel and saving money for a legal defense fund. The campaign denied the rumors, saying it was merely redirecting cash to "Tele-Town Halls" to reach out to moderate Republicans and independents in the final days of the campaign.

"We’re not pulling anything. We’re scaling a few things back," said Weldon spokesman Michael Puppio.
