18. Has an independent or internal poll been done to examine NUL
members' presidential preferences? Do we even know they're all Democrats? How many who applauded for Dennis Kucinich believe he is likely to be the nominee in Denver? How many believe he will even be on the ticket in Denver? How many believe -- especially how many of the NE Ohio delegation there gathered -- believe Kucinich could win a state-wide race in his home state?

How many who are Democrats will bolt from the party and vote for Mitt Romney if their favorite is not nominated in Denver? How many will stay home and pout and not vote at all?

I wish my candidate had not been booed but I wish the same for Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich, who are intelligent men with little chance of becoming the nominee.

Beyond the bad form of those who booed, I'd ask a question of political expediency: Do you boo your head off at one of the 6 or 7 people who may become the next president and whose stewardship of that office will directly impact the people your organization wishes to represent and elevate?

Bad form and stupid politics.
