Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton had breakfast yesterday with her Iowa Democratic counterpart, Tom Harkin. I'm sure it was a friendly encounter, but Harkin told Hillary that he'll be backing Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack in his presidential run.
Harkin ran for president in 1992 and won his home state caucuses, but got absolutely no bounce in the succeeding electoral contests that year.
I suppose Vilsack could do better than Harkin, after all, a lot can happen in thirteen months, but it's my guess he'll win his home state, and the media will look at the second place finisher in Iowa to be the "real winner." And Vilsack will fade probably fade away.
