I think a big part of the problem is that Secretary Vilsack finds it premature and politically discomfiting to acknowledge that he still wants to be President Vilsack someday (ideally, succeeding Mr Obama in 2017).

And speaking of those reports, I saw Secretary Vilsack's very evasive responses to press questions about them on IOWA PRESS on IPTV on Sunday.  I think Secretary Vilsack would benefit from considering that old and true adage that you can't change what you refuse to acknowledge.
