10:10 PM: With 70 percent in, Fallon trailing Boswell by double digits
With more than 70 percent of the vote in, Third District challenger Ed Fallon trails incumbent Congressman Leonard Boswell by 16 percent. Fallon addressed supporters at 10:05 p.m. at the Raccoon River Brewery.
"We had expected different results tonight," said Fallon, noting he was outspent 5-to-1 by Boswell. "The fact we fought with (a strong grassroots campaign) is an incredible expression where we are at in this country."
Fallon added if you take the PAC money out of what Boswell raised that the two candidates would be pretty even as far as cash raised.
