Kos on Vilsack, IA-Gov

DKos on Vilsack, IA-Gov

From Kos and the midday open thread:

  • Which makes the man from Mt. Pleasant's decision to de facto endorse Blouin all the more problematic. What happens if we on the left refuses to accept a shoved down our throats Blouin nomination? The best thing about the Vilsack Era has been some critical pro-choice use of the veto pen; Tom should discuss this at length with his good friend Mike...
