If Lieberman, Kucinich or Sharpton win in NH tomorrow where does that put
the race?

Just a hypothetical situtation of a major upset by the bottom three.

2. It would put the race in chaos
But none of those three will win New Hampshire, which is on Tuesday, not tomorrow. My cat has a better chance of winning than Kucinich does.

5. I have a better chance of winning then Lieberman does...
...and I'm willing to bet your cat is more popular then I am.

7. What exactly is the point of your
constant efforts to slam Kucinich and by extension those of us who support him? It really is getting boring.

9. isnt that the $64,000 question?
What seems most likely? (Since the answer wont be forthcoming I suspect, allow me to indulge...) Perhaps an interested party in a more conservative branch of the system? A keyboard warrior with a personal agenda so intensely slanted against Kucinich's forthright peace and justice platform that nary an opportunity should be passed up to impugn the chances of the FINEST candidate on any ballot? Maybe another desperately pro-israeli, anti-palestinian operator who feels fulfilled by slurring an honest politician? I honestly dont know the answer, but those are my best guesses. Oh wait, who cares what he thinks? Not the people who know whats best for the country, and they dont belong to any particular party, by and large. It is pretty pitiful to see this on a regular basis. Anti-democratic and Anti-Democratic both, just poorly disguised contempt with no basis in American values.

12. Kucinich supporters are very strange
You guys are constantly attacking other Democrats ("Kerry is really a Republican!" etc.) but you scream and whine like little babies when anyone dares to point out the fact that your little candidate is a joke with absolutely no chance of winning. No wonder your candidate is going down in flames.

13. What ARE you talking about?
Maybe if I had a point of reference I could respond to that blather, but since I've never seen any Kucinich supporter call Kerry a Republican, I'm stumped.

But ya know, you're kinda cute when you're angry.

It would mean we've all been transported to another dimension.

10. I am on record that Joe may beat Clark
Clark is sinking fast.

DK just can't seem to get anyone. Maybe the indep. will help him but he let a lot of us down with the edwards deal and I like edwards. Seem to go against all DK stood for.

DK will be a great help in congress for whoever helps. Make him minotity leader and have him give the responses.
