FALLON WINS DELEGATE COUNT IN POLK, JOHNSON AND STORY COUNTY CONVENTIONS




In
results from three Democratic county conventions that broke into
preference groups for governor on Saturday, State Representative Ed Fallon finished above all his opponents, including Secretary of State Chet Culver and Mike Blouin.  Here are the results:




 

                          
Polk

Johnson         Total




Fallon

14               
90




Blouin      
    Not
viable                  
10                 
18

“These
are three of the most important counties in a Democratic primary,” said
Fallon.  “While the chance of the nomination being decided at the
state convention is slim, these results indicate the strength of our
grassroots organization and continued momentum across the state.”




Fallon
pointed out further that these numbers show a particularly weak
grassroots organization in the Blouin campaign.  “Big money and
big name endorsements don’t necessarily translate into victory,” said
Fallon.
