Thanks Guv'ner. I'm sure Hillary appreciates your ... "support"... :rofl:

Vilsack Takes On Oprah — Good Luck!
By Eric Kleefeld - November 27, 2007, 10:56AM

So who would win a popularity contest in Iowa: Former Governor Tom Vilsack, or Oprah Winfrey? Vilsack, a Hillary Clinton supporter, brushed off the idea that Oprah's upcoming campaign tour for Barack Obama would make any difference. Vilsack's logic was that not many women in Iowa actually watch her show, as they're too busy working.

As it turns out, though, a whole lot of Iowans watch Oprah Winfrey. According to the Des Moines Register, Oprah's ratings in Iowa are among her highest nationwide. And furthermore, does Vilsack want to be implying that stay-at-home moms aren't working?

4. Gov. Vilsack might want to do a little research into a new-fangled invention

called the DVR. You don't have to be home at a certain time to watch the shows you like. What will they think of next?

:evilgrin:

6. I think all he was really implying is that

stay at home moms(and retirees) would be much more likely to have access to a television set during the day than woman working away from home.
