The person I really want to win the nomination.

[JeremyWestenn]

Is not Hillary, though I want her to win since I think she is the best out of all the contenders(Idealy with Obama as her VP), but the person that would be my dream candidate that has not a snowball chance in hell of probably even getting past single digit support in the primary is Representative Dennis Kucinich. A real progressive, a real rare breed of politican who does what so many people, on both sides of the aisle fail to do, which is to speak up instead of shut up.

He'd be awsome.

On a site note how old is his wife? Have you seen pictures of her? Holy hell. o_O

1. i agree with you

he's amazing. I do believe it could happen. Our country is weary, can you imagine calling the pentagon the department of peace?

[az chela]

3. We need to get Dennis OUT THERE

[az chela]

2. I agree 1000 percent!!!!!

Dennis is so smart and was totally against the war from the beginning ,now he wants to end funding for the war.We need to support him.He is honest,very smart and would be an awesome president ,he just needs to get a good pr agent

4. McGovern was smart too. Remember?

7. No Democrat was going to win in '72 with all of Nixon's ratfucking

Muskie would've lost 49 states. Scoop would've lost 49 states. Same with Humphrey. God knows Teddy woulda tanked that year too.

1972 was not a valid measure of anything.

9. No, I don't remember. I wasn't born until more than a decade afterward

Maybe, just maybe, it's time to let go of the '60s, and of the fear of being labeled a dirty hippy. I wouldn't be surprised if the Republicans were still traumatized over America losing the Vietnam war when I am old and grey, but I'd like to think that the Democratic party, as an institution, would get over being blamed for that loss before then

12. What if all the higher-ups in the Democratic Party had gone all out for him--

--just because he was the nominee, instead of actively working with Republicans against him?

[cyclezealot]

13. and one of my proudest votes also.

I go for the message first. Choosing a government is not the same as betting on a horse at the track. When you vote for the lesser candidate, you get the lesser candidate.

5. I've started another thread on this, Jeremy. Hope you'll join us there!

It's time to fight for the cause!

8. Congrats, you've surprised me.

See what happens when I make assumptions?

10. Agreed. nm

11. Kucinich had my vote in the 2004 primary. He’ll get it again.

The margins in the Senate are too close to give up any seats, even if they lean DLC. Feingold would be the only Senator I could actively support for the Presidential nomination and he is committed to his work there.

Therefore, Dennis Kucinich is the only real breath of fresh air and policies that can turn our country around. It’s an uphill battle, but there really is too much at stake not to go for it.

14. If every Dem who thought like you

actually campaigned and voted for him, he'd win easily. The way to keep the status quo is to fall for the "unelectable" propaganda. I notice that the DLC has a well-organized anti-Kucinich campaign going already.

It's an interesting question to ponder:

Why is the Democratic status quo so afraid of Dennis that they expend such effort to marginalize him and disenfranchise those who support him?
