I urge all Iowans to vote for Kucinich. JUST DO IT.
Please Iowan DUers, do the right thing tomorrow. Forget about the polls and who the media tells you is winning. Don't vote for Edwards "because you don't want Clinton to win", don't vote for Obama "because he has the momentum", don't vote for X because you don't want Y to win, or because he/she is the front runner, or because you don't think "America is ready", or because of this or that or the other.

THIS is the time to choose the candidate who supports the truly liberal policies America has so desperately needed for the past half century. Whoever wins the primary is when you can support him/her simply for the "D" next to his/her name. But right now is the time to vote your principles, not your partisanship.

If everybody forgets about the nonsense about "electability" or "momentum" or whatever other buzz word the REPUBLICAN FUNDED CORPORATE MEDIA crams down your throat, and simply votes for the guy they really want to vote for, (but "can't" for "Reason X Wolf Blitzer gave me in the Situation Room last night"), then that guy will win.

You know you want to.

3. If your goal is "more of the same, please", vote for anyone but Kucinich.
If you want to change this bloody mess, vote for Dennis.

7. Not true. He's asking them to consider Obama as a #2.

5. When asked today, point blank, why he was throwing his votes to
Obama...he refused to give a specific answer. When asked a second time, because he didn't answer the first time, he again gave some vague answer about Obama being a good guy. I call bullshit and politics as usual. Kucinich just lost my respect, and it has nothing to do with Obama. I like Obama, but something smells with all these 2nd tier candidates suddenly throwing votes to Obama and not to Edwards. And what strikes me funny is that Edwards is the anti-DC, anti-corporate, populist. So, what gives?

9. Which Dem wins may not be YOUR choice anyway. Kucinich it!
There will be so much chatter afterward. Oh it really matters... Oh it doesn't matter... Oh we're moving on... Oh we're pleased at a great start..

WHO CARES.

Take a stand against the MSM machine too.

If you like Dennis that is.

14. Plus, if you vote for Dennis, he'll be the first candidate to run for office from Rivendell.
