Poll question: Will the Willie Nelson Song make a difference for Kucinich?
I think it's a great tactic, PULL marketing forcing the corporate media whores to carry the name Kucinich. What do you think?

Remember, the live web cast (tickets are sold out, standing room only) at http://kucinich.us at 8pm CST.

1. It may make more difference for Willie Nelson
he could use some radio play.

2. i will never understand why DK has been so totally ignored
i never expected him to win but his style has been refined, he's mazimized his press oportunities, what there were of them and still he get's no coverage. i may be even more depressed about this than i am about dean being in the lead.

3. It's still early
Seriously, I'd wait until tax day to worry about it. As people mentioned before, Clinton polled horribly for quite a while. And there is still the chance some other canidates may implode (or even Dennis). We need a tough primary to make sure that Karl Rove will have nothing but empty guns. :D

7. I think Dennis would make a good priest too.
Thats his Achilles heel.......He will make a fine U.S Senator.

5. Squirm!
Even if it doesn't help Dennis, the song will help America.

If they are allowed to hear it.

8. Am already lobbying my country music station
(owned by the Democratic county Chair!!) to play it as soon as it comes out.
Just might start people thinking about pre-emptive aggressive war, and which candidate supports what.

9. Anyone who supports Dennis
should be doing the same thing.

Call all your local Country stations and tell them to request a copy, or to start playing it asap, and ask them to intro it with a blurb about the man who inspired it, Representative Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, candidate for US President.

10. I've done that.
I don't expect them to actually play it here in neoconville; they'll get flack from their real listeners. But I can hope.

I expect that this helps Dennis; it's a sold-out fundraising concert tonight, so he'll get some more campaign funds, and plenty of people will not only know about him, but will see public support up on stage.

I think the song itself will also be a good message during the general election in the coming year.

12. Go Willie Go!
I admit it, I love Willie Nelson, and so does everyone in our family! "Whiskey River, Take My Mind..."

Willie Nelson is a great American Songwriter, one of the Best!
