69. Primaries are about electing convention delegates, not candidates
...so votes for Kucinich mean more progressive delegates, which means a more progressive platform. People need to research the process. Kooch will probably not be the nominee, but that's no reason not to support him.
And before you slam him for being too liberal to win, keep in mind that the majority of Americans are with him on Impeachment and other issues.

The email seemed to me to be straightforward-Edwards has profited handsomely from the subprime industry, which has hurt many thousands of working Americans, while laying on rhetoric that supports those same people whose misery lined his own pockets. I'm OK with Kooch calling him on it.

BTW, I called Kooch on the stupid-assed Ron Paul fiasco, and ya know what? DK backed off when he saw that his supporters were pissed. Has Edwards sold off Fortress and distributed his profits to those hurt by the subprime con? ANY and EVERY human being fucks up. What matters to me is what they do next.

Even the Obama 'support' was tepid at best and qualified.
