IA-3: Former Gubernatorial candidate Ed Fallon to challenge Boswell in Primary

[Sam Spade]

Methinks that this seat is more likely to fall (whether Boswell reaches the General Election or not) than almost all of the Democrat gains of 2006.

Well, the Republicans have to first get an opponent before March 14.

Do they not have one yet? In a natural marginal with a weak incumbent and which actually swing to them in a year in which they were mauled in Iowa? Amazing.

Nope.  I expect one will arrive, but he may not be that strong.

Do you think Lamberti or Thompson could pose a threat to Boswell's chances?  I think that if either one runs against Boswell, IA-03 will host the most competitive House race in Iowa.

I suspect, regardless of who runs, that this will be the most competitive Iowa House race.
