Former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack Thursday helped formally open Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign office in Carroll with about two dozen Democrats, most of them supporters of the New York senator.

"The senator is by far in my view the most experienced person running for office," Vilsack told Iowa Independent and the La Prensa newspaper before the event. "Having been in the White House for eight years she knows precisely the challenges this country faces and how to get about fixing them."

In the hour-long campaign stop at Clinton's office at 514 N. Court Street (the McNabb Building), Vilsack's intention was to stoke the base as most there clearly were sold on Clinton's credentials.

"It's 2 for 1," said former State Rep. Rep. Jim Drees of Manning. "You can't beat experience. She'll be good."

1. "...most experienced person running for office..."

Somewhere Joe Biden and Bill Richardson hit their heads on a desk.

4. As do Dodd, Kucinich and Gravel

Heck, Obama has served more time in elected office than Senator Clinton.

(I actually only posted this story b/c I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Vilsack....:P)

2. He also got in some shots at Rudy.

5. Yes, tactless shots

Which have no place in Presidential politics (and I believe Clinton took him to task after he made those comments on New York television).

3. "Most experienced"? Biden? Dodd? Richardson? Helloooo, McFly--wake up!

Vilsack never struck me as one of the sharpest knives in the block.

6. Vilsack would go "to Hell and back" for Hillary...

...which begs the question, does he need to come back?

8. You could call it "pay back". (nm)
