Vilsack Presidential Campaign Gets Key Support

From today's Des Moines Register...

Two key players in Democratic presidential politics will be part of the flight crew when Gov. Tom Vilsack's presidential campaign takes off this week.

Gary Hirshberg, an influential activist and donor in the key state of New Hampshire, has thrown his support to Vilsack. Meanwhile, Chicago investment banker Lou Susman, the top fundraiser for John Kerry's 2004 campaign, is helping the Iowa Democrat with fundraising and will weigh a more formal commitment to Vilsack's campaign.

Is Vilsack actually putting together a legit campaign? I think it will all depend on who else runs. If Bayh, Biden, Richardson, and Clinton all run, that is a lot of DLC'ers battling for money and votes. It was smart for Vilsack to be the first horse out of the gate.
