Kucinich should run for the US Senate instead
I actually have a rather positive opinion of Dennis Kucinich, but he is simply not a major candidate for president. He is saying many of the things that Democrats need to be saying today. His talents and oratory notwithstanding, the House is not a good launching pad for the presidency and I just don't see him getting elected, or even the nomination.

On the other hand, I'd like for Kucinich to continue his campaign by challenging George Voinovich for the US Senate in Ohio next year. I really think he is the best candidate Ohio Democrats could put up right now--better than Jerry Springer to be sure. He can energize the Democratic base and working class voters and give Voinovich a real challenge, though Voinovich will be very tough to defeat.

1. If he doesn't become the nominee
I think he should run the primary to remove Vocinivich(I think I spelled it right?)

2. If he won against Voinovich
I think he should run for pres next chance he gets. It will just show the we're ready for something different!

3. No thanks, I'll take the 19 Electoral Votes instead.
Kucinich will be president.

4. Kucinich has no chance to become President..
The only ones who can win really are Gephardt and Kerry.
