Kucinich is doing pretty damn well in Texas. Makes you wonder.
According the Texas Democrat's official website, DK has 13.07% of the votes in the primary. I guess Texas is more liberal than I thought. Or, Kucinich is doing a heck of a lot better than corporate polls admit.

1. Any poll is done by a business, including the one you like.
Edited on Mon Dec-10-07 06:15 AM by aquart
All legal businesses are incorporated for tax purposes. All those little mom and pop stores. All the crafts artists.

You might want to tone down the insulting, anti-business rhetoric since you don't know all that much about it.

4. You can be pro-business and anti-corporation.
Corporations are businesses, but not all businesses are corporations.

6. Hey thanks for lobbing an absurd, irrational insult at someone you don't know.
Tone down what? What are you yapping about? The phrase "corporate poll" offends you? Do you live under a fucking rock? Well, Snap Judgement, I ran a Subchapter S-Corp and an LLC for 7 years. although I don't know what the fuck that has to do with my OP. Do you think that people who are against global corporatism are fighting Mandy's Crocheted Potholders, Inc???

I don't know any "mom-and-pop business" or "little craft store" polls. Good god what an irrelevant fucking post.

17. WTF are you talking about?
There's some things you might want to tone down too.

9. So, you're equating Bush with Kucinich? Edwards is the leader. I suppose he's as bad as Bush too? nt

10. My comment had nothing to do with the person they voted for...
it was directed to the mindset of those in Texas.

12. When people break away from the right they generally move to the middle left
They don't land where Clinton, Biden and Obama are at.

Once they figure out that the "War on Big Government" is really a war on schools, infrastructure and safety nets they enjoy, they generally become staunch defenders. It's a strange thing but it happend more often than most would like to admit.

14. I assume this refers to the TDP's "Electronic Straw Poll" from a few months ago
In the latest real poll, Kucinich was pulling about two percent.

15. When people find out about Dennis they like what he says.

Let's hope many more people find out and get out and vote for him.
