[MuseRider]

13. Here

for DK. Always DK. Get the word out Dennis. We will help.

[dweller]

14. To the heart and soul of the party

dp

[goodhue]

15. here

5% sounds good to me.
I think it could be as high as 8% or as low as 3%.

[MMT]

16. Here

Since a vote for DK is not a "safe" vote, the percentage he gets will be a sort of spine check for NH voters.

[morgan2]

27. agreed

looks like not much of a spine as of now.. Percentage down to 1.4% now, 118 of 301 precints reporting.

[Darranar]

17. Here.

[KoKo]

18. If that's true.....then "Good for Him!" He made a difference! And, I l

love the guy! He's my "second."

[eridani]

23. Presente!

You go, guy!

[ByRillYAN]

20. Dennis Rox!

heck, even getting 3% will be more than is expected. but with the latest results i've seen, he only has 1.7%.

[TeeYiYi]

21. Check in for the original Peaceful Warrior . . . Go DK !

TYY :hippie:

[economic justice]

22. Good luck to all of you and DK!

I'm not a Kucinich supporter, but I "support" Dennis Kucinich in his decision to fight all the way to the convention. While I may not agree with him on a lot of things, I have a TON of respect for the guy who has been UNWAVERING in his message. I think that's because he is unwavering in his BELIEFS. Good luck to all of you and DK in his most improbably bid for the nomination. He is to be commended for bringing some real dignity to the race.

[nickgutierrez]

24. Checking in.

Go get 'em, Dennis.

[GreenArrow]

25. Dennis is the only candidate worth a

damn. Period. The rest are simply not Bush. What a sad, sick country we live in.

[wheresthemind]

26. Goo Dennis!

wOOt!

[genius]

28. Still here. Dennis has my vote in March.

It looks like we're going to have to take it through a brokered convention though.

[iowapeacechief]

29. Brokered convention scenario?

The Brokered Convention Scenario
TO PERSUADE KUCINICH ADMIRERS TO BECOME KUCINICH VOTERS
http://us.denniskucinich.us/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3034


How many DU members have read this one? Do you buy it? Is this the strategy we're betting on?

[no name no slogan]

30. Still here, and will be to the end (and after)

The Kucinich campaign is just the start of our movement. We'll still be around after the convention, and after November 2004-- even if DK is not the nominee.

Our movement has just begun, and will only get larger if our next president doesn't start listening to Main Street instead of Wall Street.

:toast:

[dpbrown]

31. Check

In it to the end.

DPB

[Lydia Leftcoast]

32. On board till whenever

and I agree, that this is only the beginning of a revived progressive movement in the U.S.

[mvd]

33. Checking in!

:hi:

[hedgetrimmer]

34. KOOOOOOOCH!!!!!!!! bring'n da light...

[IndianaGreen]

35. Who will throw his/her support to a prowar candidate if Dennis drops out?

A fair question considering what Dennis did in Iowa. The war is a showstopper for me. How about you?

[eridani]

37. No Plan B until the national convention for this kid

Never, no way.

[MMT]

39. "Better dead than Red" is not a progressive position, IG

[DemBones DemBones]

40. Dennis is the only one who has consistently opposed the war and

the occupation/ continuing guerilla war so if he doesn't get the nomination, we either don't vote or we have to vote for a less pure candidate. Dean and Clark can't match Dennis on the war issue, or any other issue, AFAIC.

Months ago, I said I wouldn't vote for anyone who voted for IWR, but harsh reality made me realize that taking that stand would do nothing except help elect Bush.

What's worse, the guy who is responsible for starting the war, or the guys who voted for his proposal because they were deceived? (And can Dean prove he wouldn'y have been deceived by what the Senators were told?)

I think it's BUSH who needs to be punished, not our Democrats!!!

[iowapeacechief]

73. No, it's NOT a fair question

I hate war as much as anyone, and I see your half-baked "question" as the mischievous provocation it really is. The Edwards alliance in Iowa has been explained again and again. If you really cared, you'd have paid attention and wouldn't say what you wrote here. Your characterization is either way off base or knowingly perverse, and I suspect the latter.

[vision]

36. Dennis is my first choice

then Dean, Clark and after that it is ABB. The others don't leave a fresh and minty feeling in my mouth ;)

[Myra]

38. Which means he'll need money! I want his voice in the mix the whole time!

$$$$

[DemBones DemBones]

41. I support Dennis right down to

my marrow!

DemBones DemBones

[hippywife]

42. Checking in for the only candidate

I can vote for with any conscience at all. If he's not the nominee, then it's hold your nose time again at the polling place. Not an experience I'm going to relish. :eyes:

[eridani]

43. Me neither

A non-Kucinich candidate gets my vote and my open checkbook, but not my heart and soul.

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

44. I may be able to make it to the polls for Bush-lite

then again, I may not bother. Who knows? Hate to say it, but my sig says it all.

[genius]

45. I'm here.

He's got my vote.

[AVID]

46. count me in

[Desertrose]

47. check, check and CHECK! Dennis is my man!!

I don't really want to even imagine who I could vote for other than this man...

PNAC! Awesome!!!

:loveya: we loveya DK

Peace
DR

[mountebank]

48. Is DK picking up speed?

Or is it me?

I get the feeling that he is getting mentioned in more articles and I'm seeing him more on TV.

Maybe some former Dean supporters are coming around to DK. Not that I am wishing anything bad for Dean.... But a fading Dean probably means more support and coverage of Kucinich.

[blm]

49. I think he's going to finish higher than anyone expected, too.

Imagine if all that antiwar support had gone to him from the beginning.

[frustrated_lefty]

50. Not a Kucinish supporter here

but he spoke well. I missed part of it, but I didn't resent a single thing he said, I agreed with just about all of it. Kucinich would make a good president.

[no name no slogan]

52. Thanks for the kind words!

I believe that MSNBC is repeating the debate tonight @ 11:00 central time. I missed it too, but I'm going to catch the repeat.

:hi:

[no name no slogan]

51. He's here, I'm supporting him, and may even be...

employed by his campaign him shortly, believe it or not! I'll share full details when everything is confirmed!!!

[LostInTheMaise]

53. A very sad pipe dream

America is not ready for his far left leadership. Sad but true and we all know it. This election is not a fictional novel written by Moore or Vidal and we had better get ready for it. Idealism is nobel but suicidal in this day and age.

[no name no slogan]

74. Far left? Or traditional Democrat?

The people are ready for his leadership. Most Americans want universal single-payer healthcare, restraint on corporate power, a full employment economy, and an improved infrastructure. Incidentally, all of these issues have been planks in the Democratic platform for DECADES.

Unfortunately, our presidential candidates don't reflect these values, because they're "afraid" of being portrayed as "far lefties" by the media and Republican spinmeisters.

I for one don't vote out of what some group of mediawhores or Republicans tell me. I make up my own mind. And that's why I'm supporting Kucinich.

[Zomby Woof]

54. This Arizona Democrat

...is filling in the oval next to "Dennis Kucinich" on the ballot next week. :-)

[jpgray]

55. Kucinich rules

I felt the best about sending money his way.

[scheming daemons]

56. ....all 3 of you

[IrateCitizen]

69. Need a math lesson, friend?

Don't look like you count so good. Better get you some cipherin' lessons. :eyes:

[gate of the sun]

57. heart and soul doesn''t mean much to many people unfortunatly

Do you think if people were convinced that Bush was out....would they vote for Dennis instead of who was most likely to beat Bush? Just curious....I've heard so many people say they like him ,love him but are too afraid to vote with their heart that they are actually creating the fact that Dennis can't win. So let's hope people's hearts will win out and Dennis's numbers will grow.....

[roughsatori]

58. I support Kucinich

He is the reason I have not changed my registration to Green. As the Democratic party has become so corporatist as to be repulsive and has rolled over for the Shrub mis-administration I was ready to leave--I will stay a bit longer due to Kucinich.

[corporatewhore]

59. DKall the Way!!!

[snoochie]

60. I'm in.

I'm with Dennis all the way to the convention. He's an inspiration. :)

[Tinoire]

61. Late as always but checking in nonetheless! All heart & soul! n/t

[dawgman]

62. Go DK

[WilliamPitt]

63. Yo

:)

[rucky]

65. Better Late Than Never

:hi:

[dpbrown]

66. I'd like to see a brokered convention

And we really need Dennis to keep them all talking about Iraq and the things that are going to sink Bush.

[redqueen]

67. Check

Can't wait to vote for the only real man in the race. :)

[IrateCitizen]

68. Jumping up and down for Dennis!!!

The vision for a progressive future of an America that can truly live up to its ideals.

[Paulie]

70. Dennis is HOPE

It will be so awesome to go into the booth on March 16th and vote FOR someone, instead of AGAINST someone.

I think the only time I have done that was voting for Jan Schakowsky as my rep!

[VelmaD]

71. I sure want to be

He's the candidate of my heart. Someone please come hit my head with a frying pan. :)

[lapislzi]

72. Dennis is an inspiration

Every time I hear him speak, I believe a better world is possible.
