Clinton in Iowa Today

Hillary Clinton will be campaigning this weekend in the key State of Iowa, attempting to win over local Democrats who until this point are not supporting her in the polls.

This is Clinton's first visit to Iowa in over 3 years, but expect the visit to boost her ratings as she meets and greets locals during a busy schedule. Clinton supporters have noted that Clinton is best when she is on the ground, meeting people face to face - not unlike her husband.

John Edwards has consistently led recent polls in Iowa and has visited the state no fewer than 17 times in the last 2 years. In addition, Clinton's main rival nationally, Barack Obama has been there a number of times, and of course local Tom Vilsack is a former Governor.

Clinton will have her work cut out for her, but this wont be her last trip to Iowa.

And yesterday she announced that she has appointed the former chief of staff to Iowa Senator Tom Harkin, JoDee Winterhof.

Winterhoff said that she was joining the Clinton campaign because she "...has the experience and vision to lead this country from the moment she steps into office."
