If anyone should be angry that the media is ignoring them
it should Kucinich people! They didn't even bother to show his numbers tonight. Like they had no room for all seven candidates! :grr:

1. That's true
Kucinich was barely mentioned all evening and ought to have been.

3. maybe if your guy got more than 1%
they would show him.

Sorry, but kucinich is unelectable. He had a year to get more than a blip in the polls. He didn't do that. Game over.

6. He's not my guy. Dean is my guy.
But why should CNN give Kucinich people the brush off like that? Sharpton's numbers went up even when he had 1%. Why not Kucinich?

13. 5% in NM, 2% in AZ, 3% in ND
with 42 + 5 primaries and almost 4,000 delegates still on the table.

So there's that. :)

4. Question for DK people
If you're made that they're ignoring DK, do you think people like Larouche should be on stage during the debates?

11. What is this, the new snarky Establishment talking point?
Once and for all, Lyndon LaRouche is a longstanding nutcase with a bunch of followers who are the closest thing to Moonies that you're going to find outside the Moonies. (Have you ever tried to have a rational conversation with a LaRouchite? You'd probably have better luck with a Moonie.)

He's an ultraright anti-Semite with ideas that Robert Ludlum would find paranoid, and who runs as a Dem to be annoying.

Dennis has more political experience than either Edwards or Clark, and his Congressional district has more people than Vermont.

The snide, dismissive "Kucinich=LaRouche" crap is getting really, really old. Find a new talking point.

7. Shouldn't you be GLAD that they didnt show his numbers?
Wouldn't that have been a little embarassing? If I was a Kucinich supporter, I'd be relieved.

8. Relieved that they don't deem you significant enough to report about?
I'm a Dean person, for the record. But that pissed me off.

10. Um, he isn't significant at this point.
Please tell me, in practical, realistic terms, how Kucinich's poll results are at all significant in the overall scheme of things.

12. According to you and CNN he isn't significant.
But he's one of the seven candidates. They can't make room for his numbers?

Ummm, my ass!

9. Agreed
Yes, agreed. (I've tried to mention that fact -- and Al -- in some of my past posts on the subject.)

15. You're right
But you're lucky to have Will Pitt on the campaign now. I'm sure he'll raise hell and consciousness.
