Ed Fallon for Congress
Good write up here from Mr Fallon..

Leonard Boswell is a good person. I have voted for him every time and have contributed to his Congressional campaigns. However, he has been too willing to go along with the Bush administration on too many issues. He has voted to repeal the estate tax based on specious arguments from the Grover Norquist crowd. He voted for Bush's horrible energy bill. He has voted to enable the Bush administration's policies on Iraq and torture.

We have a chance to get a rock-solid progressive in this seat, and we should take it. While in the legislature, Ed Fallon had a 100 percent voting record on choice and labor issues, and was very strong on the environment and many other areas of importance.

1. Nice Post
I do like Rep. Boswell, but I also like Fallon. He has the ideas and the progressive agenda to really make a difference and ride this tidal wave of change all the way to the house. But does he have the electability to beat out "The Bos"? I really dont know, what about a big name Republican challanger coming in to draw contrasts if Fallon wins?
