Gov. Vilsack Announces Bid

Iowa Governor, Democrat Tom Vilsack has formally announced his candidacy for President in 2008 with an announcement this morning at a rally. Vilsack spoke about energy, and primarily domestic issues, electing to go with a general message about "courage to create change."

Vilsack is considered a long shot by most "experts" but pundits and pollsters are often wrong (most of them picked Dean in 2004), so feel free to ignore them. He does have an advantage being from Iowa, the first caucus state.

UDFL does not endorse or show public support as an organization in partisan primary elections (the exception being in Minnesota where one candidate usually has the DFL endorsement). Therefore, we trust you to make up your own mind, and encourage you to study all candidates closely and equally. This blog will have information and resources to help you make your choice.
