Wes Clark (who isn't running) is polling ahead of Dennis Kucinich (who is running)

[Renew Deal]

That's just pathetic. Kucinich should drop out.

1. Wow! 1% sure beats an asterisk!

Talk about your Clarkmentum, Wes is on the move! Wait until he kicks off his campaign, it'll be the mother of all juggernauts, I tell ya!

[FrenchieCat]

2. Did you hear? He's not running.....

and the media doesn't and hasn't talked about him since October of 2003.....nor does the media talk about Kucinich either.

Go ahead and root for one of the ones running, and leave Clark the fuck alone! He's helped more than anything.....so I'm not sure why your yellow fangs need to show dripping saliva!

In the meantime, understand.....



Hope that makes you happy too!

3. Hope he doesn't (Kucinich).

We need hard hitting honesty in the race. Nuance isn't a good route to go with a nation swimming in lies and pandering right now.

[Kelly Rupert]

4. Yeah, but he's ahead of Chris Dodd!

RUN DENNIS RUN!

(Seriously, it keeps people who would otherwise be Naderites occupied)

[Clarkie1]

5. I don't really see the significance of that honestly.

Obviously, Kucinich is not going to be the nominee, however I respect his right to run and he fills a place in the Party. Biden and Dodd obviously aren't going to be the nominee, either. I'm not sure what need they fill for the Party by running...with Kucinich, that is more clear. In other words, I don't see Biden or Dodd bringing anything unique to the table. As for Clark, he's not running so the 1% is meaningless.

11. Dodd or Biden

could fill the need of an experienced "anti-Hillary". Clark or Gore could fit here too. The idea being if sufficient people reject Hillary & they feel that Edwards and Obama are too inexperienced, an experienced "anti-Hillary" could be attractive. (Many of us had felt that Kerry could fit this.)

6. Pesky democracy......

[Greyhound]

7. By all means. For that matter why even continue the pretense of holding elections at all.

it's not like whoever get in won't be so pwned by corporate interests that they'll do anything to change the status quo anyway.:crazy:

Posts and people like this just make me sad to think how horribly ignorant we've become.

[tritsofme]

8. His side-show doesn't hurt anybody.

No person with a grasp of politics, least of all Kucinich himself, thinks he's going to get the nomination.

[Adelante]

9. So he's above Dodd in that poll, too

In some polls he does better than Dodd, Biden and Richardson. Should they all drop out? Maybe we can have some actual VOTES first!

10. with a 5% MOE, I wouldn't make too many conclusions...

about the difference between 1% and *

Neither candidate has much support at this time.
