Blast from the past

Some of you long-timers on Iowa's political scene may remember David Wilhelm. Wilhelm was the Iowa campaign manager for Joe Biden's 1988 run for the White House.  Wilhelm met Degee Dodds of Danville, Iowa, during that '88 Iowa campaign and the two married.  Wilhelm's father-in-law was a former state representative from southeast Iowa, a minister who served as the chaplain for Burlington's minor league baseball team.  One former Burlington resident, Ron Parker, describes Wilhelm's father-in-law as a "delightful guy."

But back to David Wilhelm.  Wilhelm was the manager of Bill Clinton's 1992 campaign.  After Clinton won, Wilhelm became head of the Democratic National Committee.

Well, Wilhelm's not endorsing Hillary Clinton.  He's endorsing Obama according to this from Time magazine.
