You know, I still like Dean a lot, though now that I look at what little policy he's clearly defined I don't agree with him on everything. Does he have the best shot at winning the presidency this year? Probably. Does this mean he's the best candidate for the job?
...
Wouldn't it be neat if Kucinich won by some blatant miracle? Probably far too liberal for anyone but liberal arts college students, he's the only one I've seen so far with the courage to really say what he means and the vision to clearly outline his policies. Taking money from the Pentagon to establish a Dept. of Peace? As hippyish as it sounds, *that's* precisely why I like him so much.
He's also vegan and is an open supporter of gay marriage as a "fundamental civil rights issue."
Of all the people trying to lead the country this year, incumbent included, Kucinich strikes me as the only man with honest integrity. Do I go with who I believe to be the best man for the job, or stick with the man who has the best shot at winning?
Dean or Kucinich...the rest of the candidates are little more than bitter, pandering jokes.
NPR ran interviews with all 9 Democratic candidates last year. If you're wondering who's who, this is invaluable.
Despite the debacle of the 2000 election, I still encourage everyone to go out and vote this year. Don't like the way the country's going? It's your responsibility to say so.
Sorry, I think an activist bug crawled up my ass and well, bit me. In several places. I'm gonna need ointment.
