Top Ten Responses To -- "I Love Kucinich But He Can't Win"
http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0126-06.htm

"How many times have you heard someone say: "I love Kucinich ... but I just don't think he's electable"? I often encounter staffers for other candidates out here in Los Angeles where I'm based, and even they often say these words to me. Saul Landau recently said on National Public Radio that Dennis's name has apparently been changed to the hyphenated 'Kucinich-ButHeCan'tWin.' The Congressman himself has been asked about the phenomenon repeatedly in the presidential debates."

2. I think its odd
That in a Primary election, with a strong field of candidates, people would have that opinion. What do they fear, if they cast their vote for Dennis, Dean or Kerry will win. Oh No what would we do then, it would be a travesty. I mean come on. Its the primary, vote with your heart. Every candidate has been called unelectable by one media outlet or another througout this thing.

5. You know the
media has given very little coverage to Kucinich. They have treated him as an afterthought with smirks on their faces. We will not let the media decide who can win and who can't. They have screwed us enough.

6. Not entirely true
I notice that DK gets mentioned (derisively) by the right wing of both parties quite a bit more than ANY of the other candidates. I think he is getting much more than his fair share of baseless negative publicity, and for a very good reason. he scares them.
