Tom Vilsack for President 2008

Posted by Daniel Stout on Thu 9 Nov 2006 at 9:10 PM

Iowa’s Democratic governor Tom Vilsack announced his bid for the U.S. presidency yesterday. He’s the first Democrat to throw his hat into the ring. Vilsack did not run for re-election this time out, and the speculation was that he was going for national office. Luckily, we got another Democrat for governor, Chet Culver, who starts in January.

Vilsack already has his campaign website up and running. He’s got a video blog, an RSS feed, and he’s linked in to a lot of social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn. He even has his own blog at Daily Kos.

Vilsack feels he’s ready for the big time, and we wish him well. The next two years will be very interesting now that the Democrats have taken the House and the Senate in DC. Two years seems like a lot of time to commit to running for an office, but running for the presidency is a big deal and takes a lot of preparation.

Let’s see…Tom & Hillary in ‘08! Woohoo!
