interesting case for Kucinich
and there is no Dean bashing :)
http://opednews.com/welch_kase_klosed.htm
What now? The question has hung over the antiwar movement like a thick fog. Activism has continued to grow in exciting directions, of course. But the impending election circus always sucks all the energy from otherwise rational people, who throw themselves into the quadrennial Dance of Death, tripping over each other with a curious zeal for candidates who don't share their interests-and who indeed, on both sides of the grisly political ledger, aim to co-opt or quash the antiwar fervor that is gripping the world. Enter Dennis Kucinich.

Despite the binary stupidity of a myopic press determined to judge it a failure, the incredible organizational and mobilizing power of the antiwar movement led unquestionably to the current stalemate and isolation of the U.S. imperial designs on the Middle East and beyond. Whether or not the war was stopped, it should now be clear that the massive global popular outcry prevented the validation of the war and its aftermath. The inspiring memory of tens of millions organized to take the streets on February 15 was an important milestone after all.

1. A 12 year old girl surveyed 410 people at anti-Bush rallies, beaches,
churches and other places in two of California's most conservative counties and 68% favored Kucinich. Apparently this is a different crowd than the conservative Democrats the news media interviews.The results of her survey are in her article "What Americans Are Really Looking For in a President."

3. Kucinich is da man
Seems to me like Kucinich has a larger fanbase then the media and polls reflect.

7. Looks great TOO!
Dennis K. is fantastic. He IS the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party!

DK shows the clearest difference between real Dems and what they should stand for, and what repukes and DINO-es are.

8. yeah and thanks glad its not only my team who knows that
I like your guy Kerry as well and I think he gets a bad rap same with Dick Gephardt. That said my top 3 are Kucinich, Kerry, and Gephardt. Why you may ask, despite the latter two voting for the war they offer a pretty progressive and populist vision.

11. I think DK is the best
and I think that he could pretty much mop the floor with Dubya.

We need for those who support his policies to have the courage of their convictions. We will be boosted by strength in Iowa. Get out the word and keep the faith.

12. Yes real you are so right
Besides I think not only is the best on the issues, has worked hard to get where he is, is a man of great courage, and has a great work ethic, I also think he has a terrific sense of humor. With him we can do so much good.
