63. I was a part of the Iowa caucuses in 2004.
As a Kucinich supporter. The deal that was struck between DJK and JE was meant to help increase the viability of both candidates. Interestingly, it was a bit of a one-way street. JE supporters, with only one exception that I am aware of (and I went through the precinct, district and state conventions), did not hold up their end of the deal. Perhaps JE forgot to tell them about it. Maybe once he made such a surprising showing he felt like he didn't owe anybody anything.

It's not a holier-than-thou thing. It's called integrity, and JE could use a lesson or two on the subject.

And now he is running on a corporatized version of DJK's platform, and has anointed himself the voice for the downtrodden and an anti-war candidate? I don't believe a word JE says.

And I hope you won't either.
