Too bad. I'd vote for him, vegan breakfast foods and all.

Thanks for this and your previous article on Kucinich, Eli.
Kucinich sure would get my vote. That the Democrats don't back him, when he actually stands for the principles and actions the Demos say they believe it, shows the very small difference that there is between the demos and republicans.

@ 2:

Most Democrats want to win elections, not lose them. Jim McDermott stands for most if not all of the things Kucinich stands for, and Democrats vote for him.

Does voting for McDermott "show the very small difference there is between the demos and Republicans?" Of course it doesn't. The very thought is absurd.

What a candidate stands for is only part of the equation. McDermott has earned the support of Washington voters after years of public service. Kucinich has not done JACK SHIT for Washington. Why the hell should I or any other Democrat want him here? He couldn't win one single District in this state.

More anti-Kucinich verbal diarrhea from Eli. Dude give it a rest. Many Democrats would change their minds if he actually campaigned here.

I'll vote for him if given the chance. He's someone worth keeping in office, Eli and friends' ad hominem nonsense aside.
