Edited on Thu Nov-09-06 10:34 PM by bigdarryl
He's currently head of the DLC sound familiar(Bill Clinton) he is a Governor of a state for 8 years familiar(Bill Clinton) he is unkown in the country as a whole familiar(Bill Clinton) he's former Chairman of the Governors Association familiar(Bill Clinton)he is viewed as a CENTRIST!!familiar(Bill Clinton) my advise to everybody don't count this guy out especially if Hillary and Obama don't run.

1. 'Interring' could be the correct word!
1. to place (a dead body) in a grave or tomb; bury.
2. Obsolete. to put into the earth.

I kid! I don't know enough about him to criticize him yet. In fact, I don't know anything about him, and you're right, I didn't about Clinton either.

I did hear the sad story that Vilsack was a tiny baby when he was orphaned, but don't know why.

6. Hillary is EXCITING!

Say what you will about her speaking style, when she comes into a room it is pretty electrifying. She's got star power.

8. But Bill certainly wasn't.
And Hillary is not our only other option.

3. Just wondering, is your use of the word "interring" deliberate?
Or a Freudian slip?

To "inter" means to bury. If you meant to say "entering", maybe you want to edit your subject line.

Just sayin'...

5. I'm in Iowa and completely NOT interested in Vilsack. He came in
fourth in a DM Register poll of Iowans.

He isn't going anywhere.

7. And he isn't a Senator
But then again, he's also not Wesley Clark.

9. and the way he compares to Clinton as a politician,
a natural born politican (like Clinton) is: NOT AT ALL. He's a wet blanket, at best. A zombie at worst.

11. I'm sorry...I'm not at all familiar with the guy.....
and I haven't exactly been hiding under a rock.

Name recognition? How important is that?
