U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, won the cheers of a union crowd yesterday with a fiery call for universal heath care.

Kucinich's 40-minute address to a convention of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers was shot through with criticisms of his better-known rivals for the Democratic nomination for president. The former Cleveland mayor repeatedly maintained that the front-running contenders were shortchanging their party with a timid debate characterized by "narrow choices and false choices."

4. Not sure about that

Mr. Franklin. It doesn't say anything about that here:

And I haven't heard him say so in any of the speeches I have heard so far but then I haven't heard them all yet:

But I will definitely try to find that out. Would be interesting to know.
