The governor is the first Democrat to file for the presidency although a number of better known candidates are presumed to be running. "Americans sent a clear message on Tuesday. They want leaders who will take this country in a new direction," he said. "They want leaders who share their values, understand their needs, and respect their intelligence. That's what I've done as governor of Iowa, and that's what I intend to do as president."
In polls, Vilsack has trailed the other potential candidates, among them Hillary Clinton & John Edwards. The governor even was behind in a survey of Iowans.
