Excerpt:

The Daily Iowan has a story today about the support Ed Fallon is already getting from national blogs.

Chris Bowers and Matt Stoller, cofounders of the website Open Left, are both backing Fallon in his attempt to unseat Boswell…Ultimately, Bowers said, the only way to make a difference is to spend resources to pay for advertisements, automated phone calls, and other standard election tactics. Along these lines, Bowers and Stoller said they hope to help Fallon in fundraising as well as in attempting to draw in national media attention…However, he said, the Internet has proven to be an effective fundraising and buzz-generating tool. Because Boswell is an incumbent, Redlawsk said, he already has an established national fundraising network, thus support from the blogosphere could potentially help to level the playing field.
