WASHINGTON -- While many of his presidential rivals are pursuing endorsements from mainstream groups such as labor unions, Democrat Dennis Kucinich has cornered the market on eclectic endorsements.

The latest come from Doris "Granny D" Haddock, a 93- year-old New Hampshire woman who walked coast-to- coast two years ago to support a rewrite of campaign finance laws, and Arun Gandhi, the grandson of Mahatma Gandhi and leader of the M.K. Gandhi Institute of Nonviolence.

Other endorsements for Kucinich's White House bid: actor Ed Asner, country music singer Willie Nelson, lifestyle guru Marianne Williamson and author Studs Terkel.

"Maybe that is the real America," said Henry Graff, a presidential historian and professor at Columbia University. "It might help get a large body of young people that often don't go to the polls ... a constituency that would be more influenced by Nelson than by other politicians." ---

Right on. These types of endorsements might not bring in a bunch of $$$ to his campaign, but if the news covers them, they are valuable. No such thing as bad publicity, as they say...
