Democratic Donors Seeking Young Vote
Illinois-based Oasis Audio, which produced the 10-hour abridged audio book, asked for a shorter version of "It Takes a Family," said Jeremy Beer, editor-in-chief of ISI Books of Wilmington, Del., which published the print version.
"Ultimately, the nature of those cuts was up to the author," Beer said in a statement. "We did provide some editorial consultation to the author as to what cuts might be made while preserving the integrity of the book."

Smar said the audio book left out references to an Internet charter school Santorum's children enrolled in while living in Virginia. The tuition was paid by Santorum's local school district in Penn Hills, which caused a flap.

NEVADA, Iowa (AP) _ Former Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle said Friday that he would challenge Gov. Tom Vilsack in Iowa should both decide to seek the party's presidential nomination in 2008.
One day after a visit to New Hampshire, Daschle toured Iowa and raised money for local politicians, part of his itinerary as he weighs a White House bid. Vilsack also is considering seeking the nomination, but Daschle said he wouldn't be deterred if Vilsack decides to seek the party nod.
"If you think you can give the country new leadership and new direction, that's what matters, not who else is running," said the former South Dakota senator.
Some strategists say a Vilsack decision to run would render Iowa's leadoff precinct caucuses irrelevant because other candidates would stay away. Daschle made it clear that wasn't the case and said he would "absolutely" challenge Vilsack in Iowa.
