Thoughts on the Fallon Event

I know this is a bit late, but I just got the chance to really sit down and put out my thoughts.

I can't speak on behalf of the Drake Democrats and issue our consensus opinion. Personally though, I can say that the question and answer session was a great time for the students and the candidate to interact and get to know each other.

And a quick disclaimer, I was unable to hear any of his stump speech or the beginning of the Q & A session because I was at class.

The Q & A portion that I was there for was quite good and Fallon really seems to have a grasp of both local and national issues. He isn't your typical Iowa Democrat either. He's definitely further left of the establishment...but for the most part it's a left position that is sold phenomenally well and just makes sense (at least for myself).

The other thing about Fallon is that he's simply a good guy. And he employs former Drake graduates, which finally gives me hope for a job after college and maybe not having to go immediately to grad school.
