Is he still asking for money?

Why does he receive so few votes?

wtf?

1. Kucinich is a valuable part of this election.
He has been ignored from the start by the media. He holds the other candidates feet to the fire and keeps them focused on the issues. With Dennis out of the conversation the the debates become irrelevant. Peace, Kim

2. I dunno, but I notice that he kept trading points with Obama.
Everyone else was amazingly stable, but Obama would go up to 37% and Kucinich would drop to 1%. Then Obama would drop to 36% and Kucinich would go up to 2%. And that was pretty much all the movement all night.

3. Well, I hate to say it, but he's the Ron Paul of the left, minus the momentum.
And it's not the media's fault, or the Dems fault. Kucinich and his ideas are in far left field. He is just not conservative enough for most Americans.

And it doesn't even seem like he's really trying, or at least knows what he's doing. I mean, Ron Paul is just as far right, but he's done a hell of a job of getting noticed. Why couldn't Kucinich do the same?

And lets not even go toward the UFO thing.

5. But Kucinich is not.
There is a reason he is so low in the polls and fundraising: he just isn't popular.

Ron Paul, evidently, isn't popular either. But Paul's 8-10 percent is a lot better than Kucinich's 0-1 percent. His message is getting out, and his campaign is changing history. I don't know who Kucinich's PR person is, but if you wanna blame someone, blame Kucinich's Campaign manager.
