No surprise there- Dungheap Harkin is the biggest opportunist in the history of Iowa politics (and we've had a couple of dandies). On the state level, he's pure teflon with this endorsement- even should Howard implode in the primaries, Dunga Din's loyal cornfed enablers will find no fault in their little satrap.
How this plays out in Tommie the Commie's real constituency (Washington D.C.) may be another matter.
