Vilsack out of the Pres Race

The radio | 2/23/2007 | self

[Keith in Iowa]

Former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack to announce his withdrawal from the Democratic race for president in 2008 in a press conference later this morning.

Well, that means someone else's poll numbers will go up one tenth of one percent.

The question is will it be Giuliani or McCain?

[michaelt]

What? No Vilsack,
nutsack,
or sad sack?

[AmishDude]

Hillary must be polling well among Iowa Dems. Vilsack was there to keep Hillary from having to campaign in Iowa at too many meet-and-greet events.

[Phlap]

Tom Vilsack is running for president? Who knew?

Clearly no one.

[twigs]

I think his primary interest to his competitors is that he is from Iowa and could have possibly skewed the stronger bounce someone wanted to come out of there with.

[moose2004]

I think Elizabeth Dole's campaign was pretty short.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Do you think he just wanted the title of "former presidential candidate"?

That title is owned by Sharpton.

Hello my friend! I miss the FUnnies but on another topic, check this.
It looks like your favorite Dem. candidate will never get to "Wear the Bear" on the campaign trail.
Who will PJC and the FUnnies now back?....Shrillary?, Hussein Obama?, or the Breck Girl?
Enquiring minds want to know.
Godspeed,
JD

Maybe Kucinich will get a bounce.

From 0.000000006 to 0.00000007 %?

"Hillary must be polling well among Iowa Dems."

IIRC, the last poll I saw had Hitlery running fourth in Iowa. There was some talk in the past that she would skip Iowa.

[Jake The Goose]

Funny post - all alone and I laughed out loud.

Thanks for that.

[WalterSkinner]

..he probably received an Arkansas catfish, wrapped in an one of his own jackets...

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

I don’t want to say that Tom is unknown, but his secret service codename is Tom Vilsack.

I'm cracking up over here...

[Night Hides Not]

Maybe Kucinich will get a bounce.

The "Dead Vilsack" bounce goes to Biden. This means Biden goes from 1% to 1.005%.

Biden will drop out as soon as he finds a concession speech worth plagiarizing.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Don't forget "Nutsack"

[r9etb]

Not surprising. Names mean a lot in politics, and Vilsack has an unfortunate name that evokes the mental image of a hairy scrotum.

[AmishDude]

I thought that's what Vilsack was for. They were hoping that he'd take all the oxygen out of Iowa the way Harkin did in 92. This way the media would ignore it altogether. Looks like it didn't work.

[Niteranger68]

In reality, he was never in it.

[rod1]

First I had heard he had been in it. Guees that is why he is out of it.

[popdonnelly]

Everybody clap for Tinkerbelle!
