Fellow considerate Democrats, we need you!
Please read http://www.kucinich.us to find out a bit of why Kucinich is the best candidate. Kucinich is the man to lead this country out of the darkness of corporate-defined identity and into a future of educating our children about peace, about Ghandi (don't know about him? Get an encyclopedia), and find out why Kucinich won the 2003 Ghandi award. Please just give him a chance, and check out his site, and listen to a speech or watch a video.

I'll admit it, I am here (at this forum, and mostly here at DU) mostly to plead to you Deaners out there to just give Kucinich a chance. I know that those of you who are avid Dean supporters also agree with many (and perhaps most) of the Kucinich policy but don't think he can win. I'll submit here and now that it is the right wing media that has convinced the masses he can't win. It was also the right wing media who marched us into war. It was also the right wing media who told Gore not to be so hard on Bush or risk being branded a bully (his compliance with that request was the biggest mistake of his career). I urge you not to let the right wing media convince you to deny Kucinich a chance.

I know you're here (at the DU) because you REALLY DO! care for the issues and the direction of the world, and let me say that it is people like us, like the DU and it's organizers, that are going to change things in this country. I think it is the duty of each of us here to thoroughly research each candidate, even Carol Moseley-Braun and her staunch liberalism yet lack of support for withdrawal from Iraq and Wes Clark and his carefully crafted Un-Dean-like-yet-not-offensively-liberal stands on the issues. Think about the sort of attractive appeal of the military side of John Kerry, and the wit of Al Sharpton. But, take them all seriously. I think that once you find out about what exactly happened in Cleveland with Kucinich, and what he stood for, you'll be as impressed as I am. He is a man of vision, and that vision is great and even includes, well, probably poor cousins of Republicans who don't know any better. Help us. The revolution will not be televised! Be part of it. http://www.kucinich.us

3. I respect your dedication but I question your
inflexibility. Dennis Kucinich is, indeed, a quality person. However, his chance of being the nominee is small-he lacks exposure, name-recognition, money, and organization.

Please don't feel rejected if promoting DK doesn't draw much attention here. People have been trying for months and it just doesn't seem to catch, I have no idea why but he hasn't been able to rise off the bottom.
