Who is Tom Vilsack?

Tom Vilsack is the first Democrat to officially throw a hat in the ring. If you have heard of him, you're probably a resident of Iowa, where Vilsack is Governor. If you haven't heard of him, you are in the majority. After checking out his campaign site, I was left in the dark as to where he stood on the issues, although I was informed on how to donate money to his campaign. After giving his campaign kickoff speech Vilsack unofficially became the millionth Democrat running for office that "hates Bush and the war." Since he isn't offering anything other than the broken record of Bush bashing offered by his party, he'll get squashed like a bug when the powerhouse candidates for the Democratic primaries enter the ring. We need candidates from both parties who run campaigns based on issues, not meaningless statements like "I'm better than the other guy." Vilsack will have an uphill battle when Hillary, Obama, and the other Democrats crowd the ring.
