Poll question: Which of these (Kucinich & Sharpton) should drop out now? |
|
Don't rage at me, Kucinich supporters.. It's just a harmless poll. And both these guys need to realize they don't stand a chance and are just taking debate time away from the serious candidates. But maybe that's just me. So who needs to drop out, like, in the next week or two?

3. Don't worry about Joe. |
|
He's got the JoeMentum--as in, being the first one to drop out. I think he'll bow out before Kucinich or Sharpton.

Their voices are crucial-- both represent viewpoints to the left of the other candidiates. They enrich the debate, bring out issues that need to be heard, and pave the way so the others can veer a little more left as well.

12. How else are ordinary Americans |
|
going to be exposed to the real left? They certainly get an overdose of the right wing. Dennis and Al provide a tiny bit of balance on the other side. These two candidates are dangerous to the establishment because they don't fit the righwing stereotype of liberals as Brie and Chablis types who drive BMWs.

8. Didn't vote and I won't. |
|
Neither are in this to win, they're in this to make a point and keep issues at the forefront. More power to them. Sorry Kucinich and Sharpton supporters, I realize YOU are in this to win and I applaud you. Your guys, I think, are in this to make a point and discuss issues. And, that's a good thing.

Dennis & Al are the only two in this race who are saying anything remotely worth listening to!
OK- Edwards is OK,too...up to a point- but doesn't come close to Dennis :evilgrin:
I want to hear what everyone says..well maybe not Joe (sorry...the jomentum is fading)
Dennis :yourock: Peace DR

Congressman Kucinich and General Clark are tied in the number of committed delegates.

DK raised more money than Clark.
So how is he not worthy of consideration?

and I'm not a supporter of either. The point is, we are a diverse country, to prematurely shut off the voice of any qualified person is to do a huge disservice to the democratic process. Voices should be heard as long as possible before chosing one over the other.

18. Who cares if they don't stand a chance |
|
and as for taking away debate time...I read the NYT and Washingon Post reviews of the debates. They mentioned Sharpton twice and Kucinich Once, that's not a whole lot of time and space they're wasting. Further The "major" candidates have begun taking parts of Kucinich's platform and are using it. They are forcing new issues to be discussed that wouldn't be otherwise and they're eentitled to stay as long as they want.

29. If you love Chavez so much.. |
|
Why don't you move to Venezuela? Seriously. You call the major candidates "wolves in Dems clothing", say they should drop out, now hurl a personal insult at me for making the common-sense argument that your man Kucinich should drop out. Clark, Kerry, and Edwards aren't "Democratic" enough for you--but Hugo Chavez is? Just to let you know, the Dem party isn't the American Socialist party. Geez.

35. I'd prefer you do so. This is my country whether you like it or not |
|
and it's still a democracy. Just think, in Venezuela you could watch the beneficence of the NED and the SOA from close up! Just then maybe would you fully understand the reference to "wolves in Democrat's clothing".
Cheers.
Geez.

I want to see them both stay in as long as possible. They do force the recognition of important points. Kudos to Sharpton, for instance, for bringing up the matter of the stolen 2000 election. That issue should be HAMMERED this time around! You better believe that wound isn't healed....

Sharpton > Kucinich
I'd rather Sharpton got more airtime even if it were at the expense of Kucinich.

I believe that both Kucinich and Sharpton add something important to the debate. Neither of them is afraid to speak out and tell it like it really is, which may well be why they are trailing. But that's also the reason that they should hang in there. I wouldn't, however, miss Lieberman.:shrug:
