Not to me. Kucinich is fine in the house, I don't think he would be a good president |

That only partially explains it. In that one day, 58,000 contributed to his campaign. That's BIG. |

I don't think it's an issue of that. Paul's base is simply much larger because of disaffected Repubs |

I don't agree with that at all. Ron Paul's average may be $50, but that average means squat. |
