2. I've already voted for Dennis Kucinich in the 2004 primary.

3. If somehow I thought he could win a general election, I would
However, it doesn't appear as if the general American public would ever be ready enough to go for him, unfortunately.

4. Only if Gore is not running

Al Gore is my choice as who represents my concerns, /and/ has an actual chance of winning.

If he doesn't run, I will vote my conscience at the primaries, which would be with Kucinich.

I wish America was ready for Kucinich.

8. That was a dumb comment on my part.
As I said in the other thread, though, I would vote for McCain over Kucinich. I can't stand little Denny, and there's no way he'll ever get one minute of support from me.

12. Do you vote on character rather than on issues?

7. Voted for DK in the 2004
primaries and would vote for him once more if he chooses to run again. He comes closest to sharing my political beliefs. Obviously, however, after the convention, all bets are off and I would vote for the candidate selected by our party.

9. I liked the man and his positions
But if the way he ran the campaign was any indication of the way he'd govern, I would not support him again.

10. Kucinich platform represents majority opinion
Get out of Iraq!

Remember Kerry in the primaries "you can't cut and run Dennis"

Repeal the patriot act
Universal Health care
Accountability

If people knew the platform he was offering in the last election he would have done much better

11. I think Kucinich means well, but I'm not a big fan
Kucinich thinks it's okay to pawn-off placebos and faith-based cures on poor medicare recipients, rather than guaranteeing them access to effective healthcare.

The other thing is, I suspect that Kucinich's own health may be in jeopardy. He seems to have aged an extraordinary amount in the past three years. Has he publicly said that he's having health problems? I don't know whether he'd be physically up to the task of running for president, if he's as sick as I'm afraid he looks.

13. it's okay to pawn-off placebos and faith-based cures
well, actually he thinks people should be able to make that sort of choice for themselves.

But he isn't going to win anyway.

14. I respect Kucinich but truth is he'll never be more than a well-intentioned gadfly.
