Each have consitutencies even though they haven't gotten many votes. My guess is that each wants to be able to represent those constituencies at the convention by applying pressure for the nominee and the platform to contain some provisions that coincide with their beliefs. Sharpton may very well have some delegates after the southern primaries. Whether Kucinich has delegates or not does not matter, imo, because there are a sizable number of voters who respect him - that alone could place pressure on the eventual nominee to include changes in his positions or platform.
