I am just complaining because I wanted Kucinich to be our candidate. From health care to gay civil rights, he is awesome.

(In case you have not heard, he won re-election)

8. From the article...
Kucinich faced the toughest, best-financed challenger in his 12-year congressional career.

Nothing says "electable" like winning an election.

10. I was so relieved to hear that!
I wish he could have been our candidate too...

I did support him early on...

Even got to meet him!

He still has a very important part to play in the House!

Go Dennis!

13. Congressional elections aren't until Nov, in the General Election.
He won the Dem nomination for the seat he currently holds.

18. You Said It
Sad that, as a nation, America seems not to be ready for a true progressive candidate. I really wonder how many realize that they are being manipulated and told what to think and feel about their candidates? The media does not do it's research, it's all about king making and image. Too bad.
