My heart is with Dennis Kucinich!
Unequivocally, he represents my vote and view better than any other candidate. His actions on the House Floor this past week elevated his standing in history to one of the few...
who tried. His impeachment effort will never be forgotten; and the last chapter on that story is yet to be written.
I do not believe he has a snowball's chance to be president. He does not get near enough credible attention from the corporate M$M, nor does he have the massive campaign chest to compete with Clinton/Edwards/Obama. A man of such integrity and ethics deserves to be president! So does Al Gore (again)! Great to dream, but neither will happen in 2008.
John Edwards, IMO - has the best chance to catch Hillary and win nationally. I have found him to slowly but surely be moving to a more progressive drumbeat. I think if Al were to endorse anybody before the primaries, it would be John. He just picked up the endorsement of Caucus for Priorities (here):
http://johnedwards.com/news/press-releases/20071109-caucus-for-priorities/I will own my disdain for a Hillary nomination is driving my Edwards slant as well. I DO NOT want a DLCer to represent our party in the General; hence, I look to the next best "winnable" option and I see JE as that option.
There may come a point in time where we Kucinich supporters have to chose: Go with our heart and remain DK loyal till he is mathematically eliminated from the nomination, or work to elect an acceptable Hillary alternative in JE. Of course, Edwards supporters will argue John should be supported on his own merits anyway - but the reality is unless there is a collaborated effort to organize behind a single
alternative candidate, Hillary will win.
Obama with all his exciting rhetoric, has lost momentum by pandering to the evangelicals - I don't think he will get it back.
My heart is with Dennis, but my head says we need to get behind John to beat Hillary. Anybody else feel the same?
