69. Kucinich was working, while Dean was grandstanding
Don't forget that at the time, DK was organizing opposition to the IWR in the House of Representatives, and has continued to serve his district all through his campaign-- which only started in February 2003.

Dean, OTOH, was out of the governor's office by then and had plenty of time to campaign on this issue in front of anybody that would listen to him.

While Dean was attending anti-war rallies, Kucinich and Sharpton were speaking to them. DK has also continued to press for the withdrawal of our troops (replaced by UN peacekeepers), while Dean continues to think that we can somehow achieve "peace with honor", just like LBJ did.

While Dean may get more press attention, Kucinich has consistently led on this issue, since February 2002.
