1. Well I think I can tell you Kucinich's favorite philosopher

It is Miguel de Unamuno and this is the quote he uses from him "Only he who attempts the absurd is capable of achieving the impossible."

3. Fascinating

Do you know why I can't find an English text from Project Gutenberg? Was Unamuno not translated in his lifetime?

4. dont know got it from probably the best article on DK

Also you may chuckle when you read that young Dennis was anything but what Ive heard people say about him "geeky". http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/stories.nsf/News/Nation/DB88CD9E7D0290E586256D920032A060?OpenDocument&Headline=Kucinich%2Bthe%2Bstreet%2Bfighter%2Bjabs%2Bfrom%2Bleft%2Bin%2Buphill%2Bfight
Seems like young Dennis was a baseball catcher, football wuarterback, and did loads of things for the school, he probably would had been in Vietnam had it not been for a heart condition. I have one too.

5. That's beautiful

It also explains why Kucinich has been able to accomplish so much.
