Harkin would have been a weaker candidate than was Clinton. He lacks Clinton's down home charm, his charisma, his effectiveness on the podium, and his uncanny political instincts.

Harkin fails in the south, which provides the base from which Bush is able to put together a winning combination of states to win the election in a squeaker.

Perot takes as much from Harkin as he does from Bush, and comes out with 0 electoral votes.

Bush/Quayle 270
Harkin/Mitchell 268
