1. GO DK!!!!

Go Dennis! No matter what we are with you! I look forward to voting in my primary for you! Thank you for making our voice heard!

[Darranar]

2. He's doing considerably better than he did in Iowa.

[iowapeacechief]

17. By what measure?

I want to believe this as badly as you do, but I wonder how you think Iowa and New Hampshire can be compared.

Don't forget anything under 15 percent counted as zero in the Iowa caucuses. That's a very high bar! So how is Dennis doing better tonight?

[spooky3]

25. He's a good man and dedicated to the right things.

Sorry, I put this in the wrong place. I should have replied to the original message.

[Fovea]

3. This is a Kucinich Supporter

that will be with Dennis, for as long as he is running.

[genius]

4. I'm expecting the DK voters to vote late. So everyone hang in there.

Remember a lot of working class people are for Dennis. I think that if Kerry wins the north and Edwards and Clark win elsewhere, we'll have a brokered convention and the only candidate everyone will like will be Dennis. I think the brokered convention may well work out our way. In the meantime, we need to defeat Dean so he is not a factor.

[Jerseycoa]

5. Good luck tonight!

:toast:

[ByRillYAN]

6. Go Kucinich!

I'm with ya to the convention!

[AnAmerican]

7. Best of luck to DK and all of us.

My goal for DK is still around 5%, at least in NH, my ultimate goal is the Whitehouse. :)

[Myra]

8. We gotta make sure Kucinich stays in. He's the best! Love that guy.

The night is young. :)

[Virgil]

9. Victory would be Lieberman dropping out

Leiberman is just mud in the water to what Kucinich has to say. People that do not know their own Senators might recognize the name of Lieberman. You have to think that people that read DU know 100 times more than Joe Sixpack and understand a big picture and have studied many details.

Victory for Kucinich would be for Lieberman to drop out. I myself think he will be done next Tuesday if he wants to stay around for the beating. It just has to get down a few more candidates.

These two states do not mean anything. It is only now that the candidates have got their talking points down and we will see the power of organizations and money. Of course anyone that supports DK, also counts on the power of real character and the best conception of what is a more perfect union.

People that love,love Kucinich

[roughsatori]

10. Kucinich is the reason I did not change to the Green party

I love most of what he stands for and admire decided to stay with the Dems (for now) because of Kucinich being a nominee. :)

Some here at DU seem to dislike Kucinich because, by comparison, their chosen nominees look too moderate. :shrug:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

11. Hang in there, Kucinich..we NEED your voice

:toast: to the many Kucinich supporters I also consider to be friends.

[sistersofmercy]

22. I'll second that! Keep the message alive Dennis!

:toast:

[Sugarbleus]

39. I will second your second.. We love You Dennis...

Never stop telling it like it is. He is a special man living in special times. I thank God he was born during our time. We need him desperately. For Health, for simple prospertiy,for SANE government, and for Peace.

LONG LIVE DENNIS

:hug:

[plurality]

12. I cast my vote for Dennis here in Portsmouth

I don't care what the results are I vote for who will do the best job, and without a doubt that is DK.

[dweller]

30. You rock!!

good to see the supporters here on DU doing what they know is right!
:thumbsup:

dp

[blm]

32. yeah....

DK deserves it.

[DemBones DemBones]

36. Good job! I'll be proud to vote for DK on Super Tuesday!

The last time I felt good about voting in a primary was 1972, when I voted for George McGovern.

It's about damn time we progressives have someone to support!

[Paulie]

13. Stay REAL Dennis

:yourock:

It's that simple! :D

[maddezmom]

14. thanks to DK and his supporters

His voice needs to be heard.

[MuseRider]

15. As said above in other posts

I am with Dennis until the convention and intend to stay in close touch with his office from now on. Keep on Dennis! I am so proud of him.

[tinanator]

16. Keep your eye on Ohio

Kucinich is no fool. Neither are his supporters. Lets just pull up a chair, crack open a beverage and some chips, and watch those other supporters eat themselves :)

[eridani]

18. He is already president--

--of the American chapter of Another World Is Possible. I'm behind him all the way, whatever comes.

[cosmicdot]

19. how much change are you ready for?

20. I am one of the 562 (as of 8:45 PM)

I am not upset in the least with DK's showing. He brought so many progressive issues to the forefront of the debates and into the minds of all the other candidates. I smiled when I filled in the little oval beside his name today. I knew I was helping get the message out.

We did well. NH is a rough place for progressives of any shape, size, and color.

Onward South!

So, to my fellow DK supporters, and all those hard working campaigners I saw over the last week or so, congrats. We did well.

:)

[dweller]

27. All RIGHT!! BigMcLH!

you are someone else who walks the talk.
::high5::

[BigMcLargehuge]

31. right back at you

:highfive:

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. Hi Kucinich supporters! Stopping by to toast you for your hard

work, and for getting Dennis' message out. I hope he stays in for the long run too!

Hugs,Laura

[mvd]

26. Thanks, MrsGrumpy

A :toast: indeed.

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. You are welcome mvd...he is truly a great man.

:toast: I forgot to put my toasting guys in the first post.

[no name no slogan]

23. DK will be in it to the end, and so will I

and I would guess all other DK supporters too.

Remember, there were less delegates up for grabs today than there were in Iowa. This primary season is a loooooooooooong way from over, and we've only begun to fight.

BTW, Seabiscuit was nominated for a Oscar, and will be re-run in theaters soon. Longshots do win.

And Dennis Kucinich is no exception!

:toast:

[LWolf]

24. I love the

warm well wishes from all here.

I just got home, have no idea what's going on in NH, except that JK and Dean were 1 and 2, according to NPR. They didn't talk about anyone else while I was listening.

So I'm off to find out what the score is; and then on to the next primary!

[proud patriot]

28. Wishing Kucinich and his supporters the best

:hi:

[styersc]

33. Here, here.

There is only honor in principle.

I mis-posted .... I am sorry.

37. No problem, but you can edit it out if you want --

you just go to your posts and click on Edit (duh!) and you'll see how to do it. When you want to remove an entire post (your post only, of course), you can just change the subject line to something like "Sorry -- posted in error."

Using the Edit function, you could have also chosen to add your apolgy to your first post, instead of making a separate post. Hope this helps and welcome to DU!

[Penible]

38. TY for kindness n/t

[curse10]

40. I Love DK!

I was hoping he'd beat the living snot out of Lieberman!

[leftbend]

41. We're not here for instant gratification

Dennis is in for the long march and I will be marching with him as long as he continues to be the one to walk the talk of truth.
Peace

[stegosaurus]

42. you never know...

What we have now is four cars approaching an intersection at high speed. When the dust clears, it might be the pedestrian over on the side of the road that's still standing.

Hang in there-- your candidate has too much conviction to give up after just two contests.

[MuseRider]

45. You too

and thanks. You just never know how this will turn out.

[nancyharris]

43. Just a note of thanks

To all those wonderfully courageous and progressive thinking New Hampshire Democrats who voted for Congressman Kucinich today.

[mdmc]

44. Thank You New Hampshire! All DK supporters rock!

[funky_bug]

46. Voters, schmoters...

I love Kucinich, and his speech was so heartfelt! Onward and forward guys. You have one of the few candidates in this race with real integrity!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

47. Whatever happens, I'm proud to be a Kucinich supporter

If Kerry or someone else gets the nomination fairly early, we can still vote for Dennis in our primaries and caucuses to ensure that progressives have a voice in the party.;

We also need Dennis in the race because he's out in front on issues that other candidates pick up on two or three months later.

[Rainbows]

48. What is it that Americans ...

can't see, that DK is the only way to a future. He's got my vote even if it is the only vote cast for him. No one else even compares.

[Dover]

49. Goooooooo Kooooooooooch!

He just makes me wanna shout....and smile :7

[Myra]

50. Kucinich mopping up the screen with Larry King now!

King: "Are you trying to make a statement in this campaign."
DK: "My statement is 'elect me'."

Stay with us DK! We need you.

[Dover]

56. LOL!

Wish I had heard that interview.

[Dover]

57. ..

..

[mmonk]

51. Best of luck DK campaign

and for being the conscience of the party.

[windansea]

52. Yay for DK

:kick:

[oasis]

53. hang in there.

[HuskerDem]

54. I just want to say I admire DK's persistence in pursuing peace

and his commitment and positive attitude. He's very cool.

[Desertrose]

55. Dennis..with are with you for the long haul....

...its as much about a movement as it is the man.

Dennis is not going away and I for one am very grateful for all he has given and put on the line for us.

DENNIS :yourock:


:loveya:
DR

[Dover]

58. Did you hear? Will Pitt was hired as DK's PRESS SECRETARY!

Great team eh?

Both men of heart.

[FDRrocks]

59. This species is in danger.

We are damaging our only viable environment, killing each other (and finding more efficient ways to do it en masse), and basically ruining the chances of our race to sustain.

We need a new direction. Iraq amounts to thousands of deaths that were not needed. The pollution created by the war was also unneccesary. Say whatever is prudent, we need a new goddamn direction right now. Ashtma is rampant and that is just the start. The human race needs to smarten up. A good start would be Dennis Kucinich.

I am 20, I am disgusted by the world I was put into. People are so goddamned astray with no outlook towards the future.

Fuck political prudence. Run people who are pro-human, for our children, our childrens-children, etc...

It takes grassroots effort to overthrow the powerful oligarchies that run this world. I know I'm not the only one here who has read 'The Prince' by Niccolo Machiavelli. The ideas espoused in that book are not so outdated.

[MMT]

62. One of my favorite quotes is from Macchiavelli's "The Prince"

"There is nothing more difficult to do, nor more uncertain of success, than to attempt to introduce a new order of things. For all those who profit by the old way will be your bitter enemies, while those who would profit by the change will be but lukewarm defenders."

[MMT]

60. New Hampshire is a very conservative state

It's not by accident that the Liberatarians think they can move there and take over, or that the Union Leader is the big newspaper in the state.

I didn't really expect Dennis to get much out of NH. My hopes were slightly higher for Iowa, but not much because Iowa is also a conservative state.

I don't believe it's an accident, either, that the two states that set our expectations are both historically conservative.

[DemExpat]

61. Best of luck, DK and loyal supporters - keep up the good fight!

:kick: :kick: :kick:

DemEx

[hippywife]

63. In it to the end here, too!

DK not only delivers the message, he's the only one I trust to stick to it and carry it out! Doesn't matter how many of the others pick up on his ideaology, doesn't mean they'll carry through once they've won.

DK is our only chance to have a sustainable existence.

[buddhamama]

64. DK is my candidate

and will remain so. We, the people, need his voice more than ever.
He raises the bar with his integrity and spirit.

On Feb. 8th i will at my state's caucus to give Dennis my support.

Just like i would expect from Dennis, he's hanging in there.

[GreenPartyVoter]

65. Sent Dennis

a message of thanks and encouragement. I SO want to see his name on the ballot in November!
