I had supported Dean right up until that primary. Luckily on the day of the primary I found out that he wouldn't cut the Pentagon budget.

So I voted for and donated to Kucinich. :)


Another point, though, is that Kucinich came in second in that poll. Second place -- after, what... less than 6 months campaigning? How long had Dean been out making speeches at that time?

I think he should have received a great deal of attention based on that alone. Coming out of seemingly nowhere to place second in that field should have garnered more than token coverage and consideration, from progressive media at least.

Instead if NPR remembers to mention his name I'm pleasantly surprised. :)
