In the past I've refused to post the BS Skinny prints about Culver
today the entire piece is a must-read.

1. If Fallon loses his bid for the House
Is he likely to run for Governor again? He may be our only hope. Culver has gotten a lot of people angry at him and quite frankly, I don't see him getting another term, unless he changes and changes fast.

2. I hope he goes back to being the Chet Culver many of us supported
in his run for Governor. I liked that guy!

8. Same here.
He kicked ass during the first year. What's with the reversal?

And what does he really think he'll accomplish politically by shunning labor unions?

5. Machiavelli said you should do all the bad things right after
taking over so the less frequently injuries are tasted, the less they offend.

I'm sure Chet will try to be all things awesome from here on out. And, we'll probably hold our noses for him in 2010.

I really wish I'd voted for Fallon.

4. "approval rating has gone from 59 percent in August to 43 percent last month."
Those numbers are dipping into core Democrats now. And quickly.

Not good.

6. Culver has alienated for good his labor base since he killed
a bill that was for basic rights and not for just a bit more money. I am quite sure his political career is over. On the grounds of incompetence for one reason.
