Reply #9: K&R from me, too. I voted for Kerry in 2004, though Kucinich had my heart.

I am continually baffled, and angry, I'll admit, when he seldom even receives a mention on discussions of the candidates. I realize that he doesn't have as much support as Obama or Clinton or Edwards, but he did run in 2004, spoke brilliantly at the convention, and continues to speak out, so has a national forum. He is the only 2004 Democratic presidential candidate who voted against the war and has continually voted against funding it, since he believes that this is the only way that we can end it. He continues to speak up on health care, was the only one of our legislators to visit Lebanon after the terrible war there, supports labor and speaks out for all of us. I've often wondered what anyone in the House does, compared to Dennis Kucinich and John Conyers.

I took that SelectSmart test in early 2004, and again now, and I still match up 100% with Dennis. Al Gore and Barak Obama finish a close second and third for me, and I'll vote for any Democratic candidate who gets the nomination, but I'm grateful that Dennis is running again, since I think that we need to hear his voice.
