The New York Times has obtained an internal memo where Mike Henry, deputy campaign manager, advocates skipping Iowa in light of the Feb. 5th “national primary.”  “”This approach involves shifting the focus away from Iowa and running a campaign that is more focused on other early primary states and winning this new national primary. More specifically, I propose skipping the Iowa caucuses and dedicating more of Senator Clinton’s time and financial resources on the primary in New Hampshire on January 22, the Nevada caucus on January 19, the primaries in South Carolina and Florida on January 29 and the 20 plus state primaries on February 5th.”

“It’s not the opinion of the campaign,” Mrs. Clinton told Radio Iowa on Wednesday, referring to the memorandum. “It’s not my opinion.”
