News Flash! Kucinich Supporting Obama?

At least he is being sensible in knowing that he probably does not have a good chance to get the nomination. I like Obama so I think that it is a good choice.

Mary, I agree with you. Tancredo "ticked" off a lot of his following by throwing his support behind Romney. But, I doubt most of Kucinich's support minds taking a second look at Obama.

It would certainly thin the debates if more candidates would realize that they're just not going to be president. Apparently being multimillionaires just isn't enough these days.

Both Kucinich and Ron Paul, along with the other "second tier" candidates, are never given a fair opportunity to build support, because the media chooses which candidates are worthy of our attention. It's a diseased process that will never change as long as corporate interests continue to strangle our democracy to death.

We need a restoration of some form of the Fairness Doctrine, in order to provide each candidate equal air time on broadcast media, and we need public financing of campaigns, in order to remove corporate influence. Only when the public is allowed full access to ALL candidate's information, and only when the candidates are working to do the bidding of we, the people, rather than insurance, pharmaceutical, oil, and banking interests among others, will we ever have a hope of truly getting the best possible candidates a fair shake.

It is good for him to say who he thinks he would support other than himself. It is a nice change.

I have never heard of a candidate doing this before. I wonder if this means he wants to be his Vice Prez? Would that make a good combination?

Right on, Clark Kent! Dennis was suggesting to those caucusing in Iowa who should be their "second pick" if they were going for him for first pick. The way it works in Iowa only is that supporters physically stand in the area designated for Kucinich, then if at a certain time there are not 15% of those who show up at a given precinct standing for Dennis, his people are free to stand for someone else. He is suggesting that should be Obama.

He is not leaving the race. Despite ABC deciding that he should be excluded from the debate tomorrow (1/5/08) he will be running a paid ad during the breaks on that debate. ABC stinks for doing this when they are allowing the last runner among the Republican candidates to take part in the debates even though he has less support than Dennis.

Kucinich would make an excellent VP for any candidate but he hangs in because his support is coleasing behind him and this gives him a say in the party platform on which the Democratic choice will run. Dennis has won several straw votes ie: independents.org and My Space, and another I can't name right now. He is a strong Strength through Peace candidate.

Politics is a strange place, I think and I don't care much for it but Dennis is my choice. He is a brave and truthful man, unafraid to say what he stands for. We could use that in the White House for a change.

Was he still in the race at this point? I can't remember. It's kind of odd if so.

I dont know

 

I have no idea either about this, I try to stay away from these kinds of things.

Thanks for sharing with us.
