This isn't going to look good on Mike Henry's resume...
Warning that her campaign needs "a new approach to winning,"
Hillary Rodham Clinton's deputy campaign manager, Mike Henry, wrote a memo this week urging the Democratic front-runner to bypass next year's Iowa caucuses to focus time and money on states where she's faring better.
Her advisers fearing backlash from Iowa Democrats who cast the first votes of the 2008 presidential race, Clinton denounced the memo hours after it leaked from her headquarters and played down an internal debate over campaign strategy. "I am unalterably committed to competing in Iowa," she told The Associated Press.
Privately, Clinton advisers, including former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, have acknowledged that she would probably not win Iowa if the election were held anytime soon.
Speculation/Prediction: Look for Hillary Clinton to visit Iowa very soon with Tom Vilsack holding her cape.

U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., will make three campaign stops in North Iowa Friday to promote her candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination. No mention of Tom Vilsack, however.
