I have no horrified reaction to either Kerry or Edwards. They are both fine men and I will vote for either one if they are nominated even though I do have some BIG issues with both of them. Just to think of Bush* and what he could do in 4 more years has driven me to this point. Yes, it is fear. That being said I am sticking with Dennis J. Kucinich because I believe in him. He is the only candidate that speaks to me and for me. To me he is the only one, as you so eloquently said, that has policies that will truly change this country toward the betterment of all of us. If it were not for him and his unwillingness to give up I would already be gone from this party. He is the one holding me here because if he believes there can be change then I believe it as well. I am very happy to see Dean not willing to give up on the people as well. Although I had some major problems with him as a candidate the basic premise of his organization combined with the already intact progressive movement is inspiring to say the least. I will not fall in line and I will stand with Kucinich as along as he remains. I may vote for someone else whom I may not agree with entirely but that is with the thought that we can and will be able to change as long as that person does not seek to shut up the rest of us. To be told to get out or to give up is the worst any party can do to a person or a movement. It will either galvanize us or send us away. It is up to them.
