Ed Fallon: "I Walk A Lonely Road..."

This blog correctly predicted that Ed Fallon was going to lose in his attempt to wrestle the Democratic nomination away from Leonard Boswell.

Funny how you don't hear any Democrats waxing on about how being against the war is a political advantage. After all, Fallon is against all wars and Boswell voted for the war in Iraq.

Now, it seems, Fallon is begging other Democrats to bail him out of $35,000 worth of campaign debt.

I don't know why the Republican Party of Iowa doesn't approach Fallon and promise to pay off his debt in exchange for running as a hardcore, anti-war, left-wing independent candidate against Democrat Tom Harkin in November. That might look a little weird, seeing how the RPI has to throw money at yet another lousy Senate candidate (some loser name Christopher Reed).

But the RPI wouldn't pony up $30,000 to buy those 9 electric buses in Cedar Rapids at auction that Tom Harkin procured in the 1990's at a taxpayer expense of over $10 million. Those nine buses traveled a total of 200,000 miles (that's $50 a mile, folks). If they won't buy a legit campaign issue to run over Harkin with, why would they bother trying to get creative to siphon away the anti-war wingnuts?
