Vilsack NOT winning in South Carolina? *sigh*

The poll asks respondents: "If the Democratic Presidential Primary were held today, who would you vote for?," providing 10 choices, including the usual suspects-- like HRC and John Edwards-- and some surprises for good measure, like Tom Brokow (who has since been removed). Interestingly, Gov. Tom Vilsack (D-IA) who is keynoting the SC Dem's JJ dinner in Colombia, SC on 4/28 was left off the list. Widely considered an '08 candidate and the chair of the centrist DLC, Vilsack was included in the poll's next question about "second choice" 08ers.

Asked about the omission, Nobel said leaving Vilsack off was a mistake. Nobel: "I just realized that 20 minutes ago. Appropriate changes will be made." But Nobel also said he did not expect results to change too much with Vilsack's addition. Nobel: "Vilsack only has 2% right now in the second choice."

1. But will it matter?

If it were ME running for President, or aspiring too, and I was pulling 2% as a 2nd choice, couldn't rally Iowa, and didn't seem to stand a chance, I would back out and use my clout as head of the DLC and Governor of Iowa to do some good for our party and our state.

He owes us that at least, we elected him.
