Iowa's Vilsack embarks on 2008 bid for presidency
MOUNT PLEASANT, Iowa (CNN) -- Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack on Thursday became the first prominent Democrat to formally announce a 2008 presidential bid. He is kicking off a five-state tour of several early voting states, including New Hampshire and South Carolina.

Vilsack, who turns 56 in December, will end his second term as Iowa's governor in January. He spoke at Iowa Wesleyan College in Mount Pleasant before leaving on his "Courage to Create Change" campaign swing.

"We are committed to this campaign and this effort," Vilsack told his supporters. "Our work is just beginning."
