Five Days to Go

Fallon is in Marshalltown today, campaigning there for the last time before the election.  He commented on his opponents’ endorsements saying,

My campaign has never been about media endorsements,” he said. “Even though I don’t have many endorsements from the labor unions, but many rank-and-file members supporting me.

It’s sort of funny that that’s the first quote in the Times-Republican article, since Fallon received his first batch of legislative endorsements yesterday.   

Reflecting on the campaign at this point, Fallon said “I can’t say I’m going to win, but I’m confident it will be competitive.” On his supporters, he added, “I’m giving them a reason to vote,” he said. “I feel a lot of people have lost hope in the political process. I’m giving them a reason to hope.”

If the Fallon campaign has toyed with the idea of endorsing Blouin, I would imagine that sort of quote indicates where Fallon stands.  (Just speculation.) 

On an unrelated note, George Pataki visited Iowa yesterday and agreed to hold a fundraiser for Jeff Lamberti in New York next month.  Here’s where the Boswell-Lamberti thermometer stands as of May 17. (Boxer money yet to come.)
