WH 08: "Run, Tom, Run"

IA Gov. Tom Vilsack (D) will host Polk Co. Dems at his home this weekend for an outside BBQ. The invitation features a yard sign that says "Run, Tom, Run!" and an exhortation that "contributions and suits not accepted."

Des Moines lawyer Jerry Crawford is chairing the reception. A source with knowledge of the event calls it a backyard picnic with local Democrats (from inside Polk County) who are active at the precinct level." An aide to one of Vilsack's potential presidential rivals calls it a way for Vilsack to convince these activists to keep their powder dry until he makes his decision about an '08 race [MARC AMBINDER]
