WATERLOO, Iowa -- The 300 union members from across Iowa had sat for three long hours, listening to Democratic presidential candidates. The last would be Dennis Kucinich.
He quickly got the tired throng on its feet cheering, and by the time he was ready to wrap up 20 minutes later, the crowd had interrupted him with applause and cheers 13 times.
So moderator Mark Smith had to ask the Ohio congressman a question he had not asked anyone else: Can you win?
Sure, Kucinich said without hesitation, in a quick, assured cadence born of a lifetime of fighting against more powerful forces who asked similar questions. He comes from Ohio, a state with lots of electoral votes. He's beaten Republican incumbents. And, he said, "I'm the guy who provides the sharpest contrast with the Bush administration."
