Kucinich I think was/is like a Ralph Nader, where a lot of real
progressives wanted him first, but he didn't have the name recognition
or stature to get momentum, plus his ideas are way too progressive for
the U.D. right now, unfortunately.
My point about him is even though Kucinich got very little support, I
think him saying to make Obama second choice might have pulled some
people away from Edwards, who ironically, Nader said he might support
recently.
I probably would love a Kucinich presidency. I think he is a very honest
and trustworthy guy. I liked Gore Vidal's article about Kucinich:

But things didn't go well for Kucinich:

That is disappointing. People like Kucinich. Well, this tells you
something about how things work in our country. You might *think* that
the people decide who will lead them, but the media decides who the people
get to choose from, and those choices can be extremely limiting.
