Kucinich and Dean and Clark were expertly managed candidates
Edited on Mon Feb-23-04 09:04 PM by WhoCountsTheVotes
I'm beginning to form an impression - that Howard and Wes and Dennis were egomaniacs acting in the equivalent of a reality show in order to appeal to certain demographics. That couldn't possibly be true.

1. These 3 guys are all brilliant or almost brilliant loose cannons
I consider them all patriots. Wes and Dennis really aren't much in the appeasement business from my read. Dean is what he is, blunt and states rights realpolitik, I've never morally liked him, but he attracts a fairly strong following. Whatever, Dean sure seems a prickly, a like him or leave him kind of guy.

3. Dennis beat Edwards in Maine and Washington
This counting him out may turn out to be a bit premature.

4. I think every politician is an egomaniac
to some extent. Presidential candidates need extreme confidence and the belief that they can do better. All the candidates are managed and acting to some extent. Why single out these candidates?

6. Kucinich is so earnestly concerned for the welfare of this country I see


him as almost ego-less. I've not been posting as a 'Kucinich' supporter, I'm still voting Dean in my primary....but I LOVE Dennis.
I wish he was my brother or neighbor, just so I could daily have some contact with a man who really GIVES A DAMN about humanity.
