Hearing him in person is an amazing experience. He not only has the right ideas, but he can relate to people, whether individually or in a crowd.

Here's one little incident from his St. Paul visit. As I was standing in line to shake hands, the woman in front of me had a baby who was holding a balloon. Dennis spoke with the woman, and then took about half a minute out to play peekaboo with the baby using the balloon to "hide" behind. Yeah, I know about the stereotype of the politician who kisses babies, but this seemed likea geniune bit of spontaneous whimsy, and the baby was getting into it as well.

Now I don't advocate voting for anyone on the basis of their personality. I'd vote for a marble statue if I thought it was right on the issues. But I have to emphasize that people who are still undecided or unsure should go hear Dennis Kucinich speak if they have a chance.
