Presidential Candidate Vilsack

Breaking News: Librocrat.com officially endorses Tom Vilsack for President, 2008 until - someone else decides to run. I think I am the first blogger on the internet to endorse his presidency.

As far as candidates people have heard of, Obama is testing the religious waters to see if he is as disliked as Hillary (Obama voted more liberal than Hillary in 2005), but with only two years experience, it may be difficult for him to win. According to the New York Times, Hillary Clinton has met with the other Democrats in New York, and it was leaked that it was about announcing her candidacy (finally). I think she would make an amazing president, but I don't think she'd win. Perhaps Vilsack/Clinton? Vilsack/Obama? Obama/Clinton?

Are there any other Governors who can run whose names don't sound like slang for reproductive organs?
