Congressman Leonard Boswell and his campaign also have been focusing on get-out-the-vote efforts since winter. There is a general feeling those traditional voters will cast ballots as they always have for Boswell.

"Boswell will have a lot of people vote for him because that is what they have done in the past," a Democratic insider said. "Fallon has a more robust following of people who will vote for him because they find him inspiring, or someone they know told them to vote for him.  The more people dragged to the polls by excited voters, the better Fallon does."
