53. I can give you reasons
Edited on Mon Oct-20-03 02:20 PM by Loyal
NOT to vote for him in the primary. I'll vote for him in the GE, but not in the primary, because he flip-flops on important issues, and then acts very hypocritically with his Iraq attacks on other candidates. Kucinich is attacking Kerry and Dean while he is faced with his past 6 year ANTI-CHOICE voting record. Let me tell you, it is sooooo progressive to have been anti-choice. NOT! And I know how Gephardt was anti-choice until the late 80s, but Gephardt is not marketing himself to the far left and the Greens. Kucinich is doing exactly that. Kucinich is standing in a glass house, but no one bothers to break it. Why? Because he's not a threat at the moment. He has no chance at the nomination, never having garnered more than 3-4% in a nationwide poll, IIRC. He is even trailing Dean or Gephardt(can't remember which) in polls of his HOME STATE of Ohio. If you can't even carry your home state in the primary, you're not a very convincing candidate. All of the top and middle tier candidates will most likely carry their home states, with Moseley-Braun, Sharpton(NY), and Kucinich very unlikely to accomplish even this. Kucinich is a fringe candidate, simply put.
