WoooWhooo..., Thanks CL for clearing up my misconception that Vilsack had some connection to "Big Pickle."
Now I can vote for him without fearing he will try to manipulate the price of a jar of pickles for political gain. There will also be no threat of "War for Pickles" if he is elected.
Seriously, having been out of the news cycle for a week, do you think he is just trying to help queer up HRC's chances for coming off big in Iowa and gaining out-of-the-gate momentum. Does anyone see her star power in the democrat party slipping?
Heard HRC has not been seen in a couple of weeks. Commentators have said she's not going to compete for news till the democrat takeover news of Congress runs its course. Some have speculated she may be undergoing a Pelosi type make-over to improve her physical image. Maybe a little re-virgining work could be done also.

I always have wondered whether he gets a lot of people asking whether he has inherited the Vlasic pickle fortune.

It is an unfortunate surname... but then again he got elected to statewide office with it, so it can't be that bad.

Can anyone whose name sounds like the henchman of a sword-&-sorcery B-movie's villain, *really* be elected president?

Time will tell.
