On a warm winter morning in Long Beach, a day before the Oscars, Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich basked in the sunshine of his supporters’ love.

The toughest question of the morning came from a small-business owner who wondered if NAFTA wasn’t so bad after all. Kucinich quickly mollified the man by explaining how jobs we send to Mexico don’t stay in Mexico. They go to places that are cheaper still, he said, like China.

Someone else gave him a total setup, wondering aloud how to explain Kucinich’s public-health-care plans to her friends.

"As opposed to private health care? Oh, my gosh, I have to wait? I can’t get the doctor of my choice?" he fired back—the one time he resorted to sarcasm. A fastball aimed at dentists followed: "This smile I have," he said, "didn’t come cheap."

The crowd roared. They were young and hungry enough to get his sarcasm, but old and vested enough to prize his sincerity.
