DNC Winter Meeting, Washington, DC, Feb. 1-3, 2007
The Vilsack campaign couldn't match the t-shirts and buttons of the adjacent Clinton table, but they did have a popcorn machine and provided bags of freshly popped popcorn to many DNC members and attendees.  (more)
The Vilsack table had a new brochure.  The inside section, "Meet Tom Vilsack," presented a biographical overview, while one of the flaps presented some take-home bullet points (below).  Additionally the brochure had a note on the back, "Printed at a 100% Wind Powered Printing Company."
