77. They're a toss-up on working families
As for social conservatism, I would argue that Kucinich actually wins out here, especially considering the flak (both deserved and undeserved) he takes over reproductive choice -- even if he is a bit kooky at times.

The area in which they split drastically is foreign policy. While you are correct that Gephardt's views are more electable in this area, I would also argue that they are based on no firm foundation, but rather a result of a desire for political expediency.

As for who is electable, even though I'm a big fan of DK, I'd have to say that neither of them is.
