What a wast of money

Moderate image, tough childhood
Vilsack cultivated a centrist image as governor, balancing the state's budget and resisting pressure to raise taxes. He also heads the centrist Democratic Leadership Council. But he has emphasized increased spending on such priorities as health care, education and economic development.

Beyond his record as governor, Vilsack has a compelling personal story he hopes will spark national interest in his candidacy. He was left as an infant at a Catholic orphanage in Pittsburgh and adopted by what he has described as a "troubled but loving family."

His parents were well-to-do and sent him to a private preparatory school. His mother was an alcoholic who beat him; his father suffered financial reversals.

Vilsack managed to transcend his difficult childhood and built a successful career in law and politics. He met his wife, Christie, in college in New York and they settled in her hometown of Mount Pleasant - population 8,700 - after he graduated from law school. He joined his father-in-law's law practice

With potential candidates like Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards, this guy is wasting his time and energy
