14. Kucinich would be seen as too far left
I personally like Kucinich's guts and his dedication to his principles, but I think he would be seen as a bit odd to mom and pop in Middle America. Try explaining "Vegan" to coal miners in West Virginia or legalizing marijuana to retirees in Arizona.

I think Kucinich can be very useful campaigning to his base this fall. I think he should then be rewarded with one of two positions: Ambassador to the UN or Secretary of HUD. In both cases, he would be a strong and eloquent voice for the disenfranchised.
