1. VERY Nice

Vilsack has a fantastic Iowa organization, and he's a rising star in the Democratic Party. It's wonderful he's sharing his press secretary.

2. Good news for Gov. Dean

to have someone helping run his Iowa campaign who really understands the state. I wonder if Vilsak will endorse anyone?

This could help propel Dean over Gephardt way beyond the MOE.
