LaborTalk for January 21, 2004 By Harry Kelber
In a stunning upset, Senator John Kerry won first place in the Iowa caucuses on Jan. 19, garnering 38% of the vote. Former House minority leader Richard Gephardt, who had the support of some twenty AFL-CIO unions, finished a disappointing fourth, with only 11% of the vote. Soon after the results were made public, Gephardt announced he was withdrawing from the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.
There were two other major surprises. Former Vermont Governor Howard Dean, who had been the acknowledged front-runner for months, drew only 18%, a distant third to Senator John Edwards, who came in second with 31% of the votes.------------------------------------------- posted 7:00 AM :: reference link ::
