I've decided to vote for Kucinich -- to send a message to the Dem Party [View All]

I'm not worried about electability. If, as "they" all say, DK doesn't stand a chance at the nomination anyway, then my voting for him isn't going to change that. If the unexpected happened, and he won the nomination, wouldn't that mean he's not as "unelectable" as popular wisdom says? Yes, I'll be giving up my chance to help decide between several frontrunners, but I'm in a late-primary state, and I may not have much say in that anyway. I would be satisfied with any of the candidates now out there, so this isn't comparable to voting for Nader in 2000. I'll vote for whoever is the Dem candidate in the general, but I think showing support for someone like Kucinich in the primary is more important. Whether or not he wins, I think it will send a message to the Party, and I am willing to risk "wasting" my primary vote in order to give the Party that push.
