1. yes and it's the most comprehensive candidate website...
http://www.kucinich.us

He does this because he is virtually ignored by the media so he gives people somewhere they can go for more information on his candidacy.

More power to him!

His wealth of knowledge on so many issues is amazing and one of the many reasons I and others support him.

Check out how many issues he covers:

2. Kucinich Website In Close Contest for the Lead
Thanks for helping him advertise it :)

Traffic to the Kucinich website at www.kucinich.us has soared. As of December 5, 2003, the site is the third most popular among presidential campaign websites and closing fast on the other two.

On December 5, 2003, Alexa.com, a highly regarded source of data on web traffic, posted this story on its website: http://pages.alexa.com/features/candidates.html

Two months later, we see the inevitable fluctuations that occur over time as the voters get to know more of the candidates.

Ohio's Dennis Kucinich picked up enough traffic in the month of November to bring him into the spotlight. His positions on everything from flag burning (he's against it) to NAFTA (he'd end it promptly if elected) have managed to create an impressive surge in Web traffic.

On the other side of the Web Traffic scale, we find Dick Gephardt and John Kerry declining in traffic over the month of September.

It also appears that candidates Clark and Dean are losing some ground.

3. pruner is really bad at pretending he/she is not taking digs at Kucinich
And pruner's candidate, Howard Dean, is renown for his effective use of the internet. Good for Dean. Good for Kucinich. This internet thing sure is useful. I'm glad Prez Gore helped get it off the ground (no brag, just fact) all those years ago. I guess that was his first big favor to Dean.

Since Kucinich is a great man, I want to be really good at promoting his website as well:

4. Wow, that is impressive.
Kucinich does defy the muddled masses in taking on a lot of issues. And I LOVE the way he's using the Internet to reach his audience, rather than rely on the corporate media.

I'm thinking of endorsing him and linking all of my websites to his. I just wish I could get more projects finished quicker. Where does the time go?

6. Thank you morgan2! I'm glad you're so good at promoting decent web sites
Like http://www.commondreams.org.
Because if it wasn't for the internet we wouldn't have any viable way of bypassing the mainstream media propaganda.

10. And he never re-checks the threads he starts about Kucinich.
Remember that one we carried on for about 100 posts? He never replied even once.

12. I had no ulterior motive in starting this thread
I really do think Kucinich does a masterful job of spreading the word about his Iraq plan through the promotion of his website.
