Vilsack Attack

The Daily Show had a funny take on Vilsack's presidential campaign and the Des Moines Register wrote about the spot today and has the clip from You Tube. Check it out. It is pretty funny.

Late-night talk show hosts have been getting a lot of mileage out of Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack's unusual last name as he's been out promoting his presidential candidacy.

Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show" probably had the most creative approach yet. As Stewart reads a story about the launch of the Iowa candidate's campaign, he struggles to recall the governor's last name, until a little animated duck walks onto the screen and quacks: "Vilsack!" Sort of like the AFLAC commercials. The video's now posted on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uK43amjiI94.

Maybe Vilsack should embrace this approach and adopt the duck as a campaign mascot to help build name recognition. It's certainly more endearing than being mistaken for a pickle.

**Update** Here is the clip from the Colber Report on Vilsack's announcement.
