76. I agree..Dean/Kerry are so similar..let 1 win..but vote Kuccinich.
There is no excuse to not vote for Kucinich. The most progressive 9or least centrist more accuratly put) top tier canidate Gephardt is dead in the water. And right wing Liebermann isnt going anywhere.

Dean/Kerry might very well win infact its almost certain. But I vote for issues not faces or names or personnalitys (which is the only real dividing line between The Dean/Kerry conjoined twins). On the issues we should vote and maybe some election cycle down the road we can have 2 real progressive's in the top tier and nobody will be calling us unelectable anymore.

Id rather loose to Bush 54%-44% and have it be a true progressive than get into a 49%-49% stalemate with some centrist nominee. Not that those are our 2 choices but even if they were then I would pick laying the groundwork for the furure and building progressive movments over staying stagnant election after election with lame canidates.

The good thing about the near clones Dean/Kerry is that we dont have to care who wins..each is the other guy essentialy . Stop worrying about them (unless Liebermann surges)and vote for the issues we care about (hence vote Kucinich).
