(Some people still wanted to hear more from the candidate himself. "The comments were valid criticisms," says Warner. "You?re supposed to interact in real time.") Vilsack has hired Kevin Thurman, a 26-year-old Internet consultant, to help him meet with bloggers on education, an issue the governor is keenly interested in.
