The only dem candidate I won't support is

[Fresh_Start]

Gravel.

I'll hold my nose if necessary and support any of the others albeit grudgingly in some cases

[Stinky The Clown]

1. Okay, I'll bite .......

..... why? :shrug:

[truebrit71]

8. Maybe because he's nuttier than a fruitcake?

...

[question everything]

19. He reminds me of Ross Perot's comment

about the crazy aunt in the attic.

(It was Perot, right? and i don't even remember in what context)

[Fresh_Start]

9. Gravel seems like another Nader to me.

lots of criticism, unrealistic economic ideas and no solutions.

[truebrit71]

11. I think Nader was at least lucid though...

Gravel seems unhinged...

[ORDagnabbit]

2. the truth doesnt work for you? you like all the feel good same lies as before?

[mahina]

4. Yeah, that doesn't deserve actual verbs and nouns, so

ptttttht.

[Fresh_Start]

5. You under some delusion that Gravel is the only holder

of the truth?

[mahina]

3. Me too. Because he's a loon.

He keeps hammering Obama with money like it's a dead mackerel, as if campaigns run on sunlight. I support publicly financed elections, but we don't have them right now, Mike! EESH.

[Fresh_Start]

7. Another economic disaster in the making

like trickle down economics only wearing the pretend face of your helpful Democratic party.

[AtomicKitten]

6. Gravel is the crotchety old neighbor shooing kids off his lawn. (nt)

[laugle]

22. LOL.........

Do you have one of those nearby? LOL

[Old and In the Way]

10. If my choice is Gravel vs. any Republican

it's a no-brainer. That said, I won't be betting any money that this will be my choice.

[ElizabethDC]

12. I wouldn't support him, either

I admire his honesty about his views on issues, but I don't think he's entirely "there."

[polichick]

13. Gravel is a whistle-blower...

He knows how corrupt our system is, and he's pointing out that some of the candidates don't have much trouble going along with it.

[Fresh_Start]

16. yes. Like Nader, he's best in the critic role

and terrible in the leading role

[TwilightGardener]

14. Gravel or Kucinich--

won't vote for either of them. Thank God I won't face that choice.

[polichick]

17. Why wouldn't you vote for Kucinich?

If you don't mind me asking.

[TwilightGardener]

21. Just don't like some of his views on defense. He's too far left for me.

[AndreaCG]

20. How can you put them in the same sentence?

Gravel is essentially a one issue candidate, his "flat tax" proposal which would do more harm to the poor, thw working poor and the middle classthan the current income tax would. He made a couple of valid points in the debate, but also erred egrigiously when stating Obama's fundraisig was from big donors, when it is largely $1900 or less.

Kucinich is the epitome of the standards most DUers strive for. He is a progressive politician who sometimes is one of the few or the only to vote against an administration proposal. Years later we learn he was right. His polices are progressive and sometimes brilliant, like his proposal that all his cabinet departments work to implement green policies. And BTW I heard hardly anything from him last night. Cooper gave Gravel, not even a sitting Congressman, more time.

I won't likely vote for Kucinich in the primary, but if by some incredible chance he was our nominee I'd give him my unqualified support.

[Sparkly]

15. Somebody posted an interview he did with Mike Malloy...

If anybody has any doubts that he's a nut, it's worth a listen.

[Mz Pip]

18. My cat

has as much chance of being the nominee as Gravel.


Gilbey/08! Why the Hell not.
