Mondale campaign falters in Iowa caucus bid
Mondale faces a sputtering Iowa push as top aides fire campaign manager Peter Slone and install Joe Trippi. Despite 60 percent voter preference in polls and AFL CIO and NEA support, labor recruitment lags, phone banks miss plans, and organizers warn of a tighter race with Cranston and Glenn ahead of the February 20 caucuses. The campaign shifts toward independent labor organizing, shrinking labor liaison roles while expanding field activity across 22 states.
