7. you are wrong
He is not a joke except to those who know little other than what they see in the media. Turn off your TV and stop the brainwashing.

IMHO, the Kucinich candidacy is fundamentally about reclaiming the democratic party by building a long-term progressive grassroots movement. The model is what the moral majority was to the Republicans in the late 70s, early 80s.

Reasons for supporting Kucinich are many and include promotion of single payer health care; end of multilateral trade agreements that benefit corporations at expense of workers; and abolish death penalty

No other candidate supports these positions. Folks who support Kucinich generally do so because of his stance on the issues.

Snowballs in hell, be damned.

Kucinich beat Edwards and Clark in Washington and Maine. The media have avoided pointing this out. In Maine he got over 15%. If Kucinich gets over 15% in some more states including on March 2, then he will receive delegates to the national convention.

Politics and government is not just about winning, its about promoting policy positions with which you agree.
