11. Actually, Vilsack . . .
can read the writing on the wall. He served with a Republican legislature while he was Governor in Iowa. He ended his long shot bid for the presidency for the same reason. Vilsack is a lot of things, but blind is not one of them.

Vilsack has little to offer an Obama administration. Obama is more popular in Iowa than Vilsack is. Other than education, what expertise does Vilsack have? And there are more qualified educational experts to serve in an Obama cabinet.
