Have any Dean backers who moved over to Kucinich?
I was just wondering.


I know he is a long shot but he is still in the race. I am considering the idea of backing Kucinich. Why? He reflects my views more consistantly than the other people running and I will not spend any money on Kerry or Edwards. I have said I might back Kucinich if Dean bows out. You have to admire Kucinich's tenacity and not giving up.

Anybody else went from Dean to Kucinich?

John

1. I was an early Deaner before I looked up Kucinich
I don't remember the date, but I think it was around a year ago. Dean had written an article denouncing Bush's push for a war with Iraq. I wish I could remember the name of it. I found it compelling since the war is a big issue with me so I liked him. After I started to read up more on the candidates, I found that DK matched up more with me on domestic issues and he voted against the war. Then I switched. However, Dean remained my second choice.

2. I plan on voting Dean in the Primary
In Nov, it's the Dem nominee.

11. Right. Dean still would like more delegates -- so why would any
Dean supporter switch to someone else? Doesn't make sense to me.

3. I moved from Dean to Kucinich.
I have already voted for Kucinich. If I were in super-Tuesday or later primary,and I felt Dean and Kucinich were about equal, I would vote for Kucinich rather than Dean, because a still-running candidate brings more clout to the table.

4. Sorta -- maybe
Our primary/caucus is up in the air (redistricting). Independents may or may not be allowed to vote; and it may al be moot by the time we vote. But DK is my second choice if a vote for Dean isn't viable.

8. Really, "knives in their back"?
Can you imagine the travesty of justice that must have taken place? I missed the news reports, I assume none died before they voted for Kerry, though.

Damn CNN, I'd never have caucused for Kerry if I had known he was killing people for their votes. :eyes:
