An anonymous group is pressuring Governor Tom Vilsack to seek a third term. The group launched a website — called votevilsack.com — which declares that Vilsack is “too smart, too young and too effective a public servant to retire after only two terms.” The site’s been up since Tuesday — there’s only one “blog” or web log on it by the end of Wednesday. Matt Paul, a spokesman for the governor, says the governor’s staff had nothing to do with this. “The Governor has said on a number of occasions in many different settings that he will not seek a third term,” Paul says. The “votevilsack.com” group, though, sent an email to reporters yesterday (Wednesday), suggesting they may run radio and t-v ads that encourage Vilsack to run again for governor. “The governor’s not going to be distracted,” Paul says. “He’s said on many occasions that he’s not going to seek a third term. That remains his intention.”
