Is Kucinich out?!

[iowapeacechief]

Just heard Dean in Washington on NPR: "I was the only one to stand up against the Iraq war...from the people who are left" (in the race).

He is STILL doing this.

[Astarho]

1. Caught that too

and it STILL pisses me off!

[Cuban_Liberal]

2. Maybe he should have said...

"Among the candidates who have won delegates"? :shrug:

[plurality]

6. Kucinich has delegates.

[Cuban_Liberal]

11. Key word: "won"

I used it deliberately.

[DemBones DemBones]

13. No one gets delegates except by winning them.

You don't have to win a state to win delegates.

[Cuban_Liberal]

16. You have to get 15%

Kucinich has not done so yet. His only delegates are super delegates.

[plurality]

22. never mind

:evilfrown:

[plurality]

14. Yeah he WON some in Iowa.

Granted 1% isn't much but he did earn them.

[Cuban_Liberal]

18. Iowa hasn't chosen delegates yet.

Just county convention. The state's convention slate has not yet been chosen.

[JohnKleeb]

9. DK has delegates

and even if he didnt, he said people still in this race.

[tjdee]

3. Still. Ugh. And Sharpton.

I'm sure he'll qualify it later.

[MuseRider]

12. Of course he will

then say it again. I, for one, have had enough of misinformation from the guy residing in the White House. This was Deans first big mistake for me, I left him before this but since this he has been in my last place.

[Kanary]

17. He's in *my* last place, too

I have a good memory, it's just short.

Even so, I know that once corrected like he was, I wouldn't be "forgetting" it... no, this is NOT a "mistake". It's a slap and a snub, and not something I want in a person who is representing me. It says a lot.

Kanary

[MuseRider]

24. " It says a lot."

You are darned right about that.

[RichM]

4. I'm sure he's not.

We would have heard something, & his website would say something. He's vowed to stay in all the way to the convention.

It's more likely that Dean just "forgot" to include Dennis' name again. Sometimes he remembers; sometimes he doesn't remember.

[TheDonkey]

5. another Dean gaffe

[Dookus]

7. I heard that, too

how many times does he have to correct himself on this issue?

[JohnKleeb]

8. No hes at it again

[blm]

10. I heard it, too. It was just typical Dean - "I .. I ... I .. I .. I"

or as commonly observed - "Lie...Lie...Lie...Lie...Lie"

[Paulie]

15. ABBD!!!!

Hi Dean, TALK to the HAND! (raised middle finger)

[Straight Shooter]

20. Please let me know who your candidate is

So I can send him some good thoughts :eyes:

[DemBones DemBones]

21. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do if

we actually had to go through a Dean vs. Bush race. :puke:

I'm so tired of Dean's arrogance and inability to give others credit.

[Renew Deal]

19. Dean isn't even a "major" candidate.

He is running in fewer states than Sharpton and Kucinich

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

23. Yes and he's the only one not taking corporate cash

[iowapeacechief]

25. I have tried very hard to like this guy!

I tried hard to warm up to him as my fall-back for the Iowa caucuses.

But, doggone it, if he can't even get this right, why should we give him a second thought otherwise? He never figured out how he was offending Kucinich supporters and why that mattered--which should be simple enough--so I concluded, regretfully, that it's been intentional.

I discussed it with him in person on January 9. He claimed he had "changed"--"after Dennis spoke to me," he said.

As far as I know, none of the other candidates has been so dismissive of Kucinich. Maybe because none of the others felt so threatened by him?

I wish I could dismiss it as a small thing.


On edit: fixed typo.

[MuseRider]

26. I remember a thread

you started about that. I have tried too but I "know" this guy. He may be a Democrat but that is second place to being in this for himself.

[iowapeacechief]

29. I didn't want to believe that about him...

...but I can't help asking where Dennis would be now if Dean hadn't hyped himself as the "antiwar" candidate.

What if Dennis had placed first in the MoveOn primary instead of second?

If we could re-do the Iowa caucuses today, I think a bunch of Dean supporters I know would be with us!

[Paulie]

27. Dean continues to lie

A kick, so people can figure out why he's a lying sack.

[corporatewhore]

28. ARGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
