Snowball’s chance in Hell

Gov. Tom Vilsack of Iowa has announced that he is running for President in ’08. The AP story characterized his bid as a long-shot. Um, that is really understating the case. He has some real obstacles in his way. First, Hillary. Second, he is a milquetoast. Lastly, next to this guy, John Kerry seems dynamic and charismatic.

I guess he thinks that if he wins the first in the nation Iowa Caucus, he can garner enough momentum and name recognition to do well in New Hampshire and South Carolina. But make no mistake; Vilsack has about as much chance of winning the Democratic nomination as Michael Jackson being licensed to run a day care. Not gonna happen.
