Iowa Caucus 1992

Posted on January 17, 2004 in Campaign 2004

Here’s a look back at the 1992 Iowa Caucuses. Iowa voters did not like a certain candidate who hailed from the South at all and voted for favorite son Tom Harkin. A little perspective will be helpful in judging the results of this campaign event which exists, primarilly, to put Iowa before New Hampshire:

Harkin	76.4%
Tsongas	4.1%
Clinton	2.8%
Kerrey	2.4%
Brown	1.6%

Needless to say that Tom Harkin did not win the nomination. Nor did my favorite of the time, Paul Tsongas. The third place loser who polled a wopping 2.8% became our president.
