I neglected to post this on Sunday, but it is worth reading now. I think Harkin, more than anyone else in Iowa, recognizes how meaningless the Iowa Caucuses can become when certain political events happen (like running for President yourself) and how New Hampshire CAN help balance things out (such as Harkin’s massive and easy win in Iowa versus a 4th place showing in NH). Your thoughts?
Does anyone know how well Harkin was received as a presidential candidate when he first started to run in 1990-91? Compared to Vilsack’s 10%-4th place showing this spring?
