Reply #37: I'll go out on a limb and say sure, why not

as long as they adhere to certain basic guidelines set by Kucinich's HQs.

If the supporters of Kucinich in a given county are mostly Greens,
should they be calling themselves Democrats and advertising themselves that way?

I thought about this a few minutes and while I sympathize fully with your concerns, what jumps out at me is that the supporters in that county are mostly Greens.

If that's the case, Kucinich can not possibly win without their help so best for DK HQs there to radio for guidance and informal guidelines immediately. Or somehow rouse enough Dems to balance it out.

I'm almost ashamed to admit this but here goes... in my liberal area, where anything goes, we have some DK supporters who look like a little... too... alternative. I don't have a problem with that for me (yeah, some of my friends are...) but I see the reaction of more conservative people when approached by someone with a nose ring, a tongue ring and hair they have neither washed or cut their hair, nor changed clothes since the last time Mars was this close to the earth. "This is shallow and should be a non-issue Tinoire because the mind and heart inside..." YES, YES IT IS, it's shallow and ridiculous but I witness the damage as I see some people grab the literature and dismiss DK because they can't take someone looking like that seriously.

I don't even know how to bring this one up.

And this comment coming from someone about to get a small, discreet, sexy nose ring!
