In Iowa, Clinton Relies Heavily on Husband's Star Power

From The Washington Post:

The former president came to offer validation for his wife, and his appearance underscored the campaign's determination to deal with what has become a nagging problem in a state that could be crucial in determining who wins the Democratic nomination: Hillary Clinton leads in national polls, but she has been struggling in the state with the first caucuses of the nomination process.

Clinton's decision to bring her husband to the state reflected the reality that he is still far more popular than her with Iowa's Democratic activists.

Former senator John Edwards (N.C.) generally has held the top spot in Iowa, as a result of his strong second-place finish here in 2004 and his diligence in returning to the state time after time over the past three years. But Obama, with his enormous reservoir of cash, is equally a threat.
