Yesterday at New Iowan, he had this post asking where did all the candidates go after the primary. I have wondered the same thing.
Okay. I admit to being a bit confused by the disappearance of the Democratic candidates since the primary. I haven't seen or heard diddly about Culver, Boswell, or even O'Brien for a month or so.
I'm not an activist, of course, so maybe everything is happening behind the scenes. Seems to me though that now might be the time to do some of that grassrooty stuff we're always hearing about -- particularly if I was in Boswell's shoes.
Since Boswell is not in my district, I don't keep up on his schedule. I know in the 4th District Dr. Selden Spencer has been out and about, coming to Marshalltown 3 times this summer for events. A quick check at Denise O'Brien's site shows she had a full schedule in July.
It does seem that the hot summer months are a chance to get out to local parades, hold events in the small towns and get a little free publicity by the local papers. Unfortanately, some of the events the candidates hold are the $50-$100 dollar fundraisers that the common Iowan can't afford.

can't help myself, but you are a teacher. Don't end a sentence with a preposition.
Haha, thanks for the heads up. I hope I fixed it. Now, I am not an English teacher and grammar is not my strong suit. Luckily in 2nd grade the sentences aren't too complicated and I can focus on teaching reading and basic math.
