“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.
