Excerpt:

Some bickering took place on Monday in Rock Island, Illinois when Christie Vilsack was denied a chance to speak in behalf of Hillary Clinton at a Labor picnic.

Former Iowa First Lady Christie Vilsack was refused the chance to speak on behalf of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton at Monday’s Salute to Labor picnic, which was heavily tilted toward rival Barack Obama, a key Quad-City Clinton backer said Tuesday.

Vilsack, who with her husband, former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, is backing Clinton, participated in the Labor Day parade in East Moline then went to Illiniwek Park expecting to speak. But when she tried to do so after U.S. Rep. Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii, spoke on Obama’s behalf, she was refused.
