1. I would have thought Kucinich would have recommended Edwards.
But, he can recommend anyone he wants.

I just thought that Edwards was closer to him in ideology.

6. He told his supporters to make Obama their second choice.
Speculation on Air America today (either Hartmann's show or Sam Seder who was subbing for Randi) was that Kucinich did this to get back at Edwards for agreeing with Hillary at one debate that the 2nd stringers (not exact words) should be bumped from debates. If that was DK's motives, it really disappoints me. I've been teetering between him and Edwards and I'd like to think he cared more about issues than his bruised ego.

7. Yes, I am seriously fucking pissed at DK. He lost me for good on this one.
DK was my first choice with Edwards as my second. But when Edwards said he'd pull out of Iraq I shifted to him. The fact that DK would agree to throw his votes to Obama is fucking disgusting.
