Support Ed Fallon’s Summer Vacation!

The bloggers at Open Left are trying to set up a big fundraiser for Ed Fallon online. This is a nice idea but with less than a week out Ed Fallon will get very little of this money. That’s bad news for the bloggers but good news for Ed. Why? Because Ed Fallon has a track record of paying himself with campaign funds and this will only give him more money to spend himself. Ed Fallon also suffered from number of other ethical and campaign finance related woes as well. This meant that Fallon’s fundraising among people in Iowa who knew the truth about him slowed to a a crawl.
The folks at Open Left are good, decent people committed to helping electing progressive Democrats. It’s a shame that they’ve been conned into supporting someone like Ed Fallon who is not good, who is not decent and who certainly is not committed to electing progressive Democrats. It’s almost ironic that there are a lot of people parting with hard earned dollars that will only go to helping Ed Fallon continue to avoid to earn a living. With all the good progressive candidates running this year, it’s tragic that Open Left threw its support around the one who is crooked.

The only kook around here is Ed Fallon. That’s why Boswell’s outpacing him by 30 points. Fallon = Schmett
