With Walsh's support dropping faster lately than a court ordered rule to show cause, your LakeCountyEye has to ask: Does anyone have Joe Walsh's back these days?

No doubt the rigors of appearing on the campaign trail and on cablenews and in court has found Walsh spreading himself thin lately.

Joe Walsh

Who needs money, message or manpower to win elections when you got lots of Facebook friends instead?
