Presidential election kicks off.

The 2008 Presidential elections kicked off today with the announcement by Democratic Gov. Tom Vilsack of Iowa that he is running for the office. Read Vilsack. The Democrats are definitely bouyed by yesterday's political turn of events which gave them control of the U. S. Congress. One can expect to see many more Democrats declaring their intenmtions to also run. No word yet on which Republicans will step forward to carry the party's banner in 2008.
