I'll be voting for Dennis Kucinich in the March 2 Ohio primary

[einniv]

I have been strongly leaning that way for a long time for many reasons.

I'll let someone else say it better than I can.
Here are the "headline" reasons. The article has several paragraphs about each one:

http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0212-09.htm

NUMBER TEN: ANY Democratic Candidate Will Have A Great Shot At Victory In November.

NUMBER NINE: Dennis Is The Candidate With The BEST Shot At Victory In November.

NUMBER EIGHT: If Voters Believe Dennis Truly Has No Chance Of Winning the Nomination - Then For Them There's No Danger In Voting For Him In The Primary!

NUMBER SEVEN: Dennis Will Support The Nominee.

NUMBER SIX: The Nominee May Adopt Some Of Dennis's Ideas - If Dennis Gets Enough Votes.

NUMBER FIVE: At A Brokered Convention, Dennis Could Play A Crucial Role.

NUMBER FOUR: Electoral Outcomes In 10 Months -- Or A Better World In 10 Years?

NUMBER THREE: The Left, The Right, And The Center ... Can Change.

NUMBER TWO: Living Up To Your Own Ideals.

NUMBER ONE: Moving History Forward - Like Other Noble Presidential Candidacies Of The Past.

9. california here

will be voting for DK on march 2.

[Wetzelbill]

10. I did here in AZ

Nice to have more members to the DK voter club.

[morgan2]

12. i hope more people realize the wisdom in voting for DK

especially now that Kerry is running away with the nomination.. The only way to do something good with your vote in my opinion is to vote for DK.

I will be on March 2nd in NY. I hope others will too. Even if you don't think he would be a good candidate, giving him more support gives his ideas more credibility and clout.

[Gretchen]

14. me , too - in NY

reason #6 is the main reason I keep supporting Dennis and have been trying to get all of my friends to do the same.

21. Some points

I was one of the first to say Dennis Kucinich was not electable because he did not look presidential. However, I have checked the real election numbers that the media won't publish and in fact Kerry is more unelectable then Clark and Kucinich without free advertising from the Rove, Rupert Murdoch Media circus.

And frankly Kerry looks more unpresidential then Kucinich. So that leaves Edwards as the real frontrunner if he had equal free advertising from the media, as Kerry.

However Edwards has no experience in being a liberal democrat which at this point is the only sort of democrat that can win against Bush in 2004. Kerry is not a liberal democrat (perhaps he was in the early 60s but he is not anymore.) Check his voting record in congress he voted Republican 99.9% of the time. Kucinich voted liberal democrat 99.9% of the time.

22. Congrats--great analysis!

You worked your way through by logic to the same point most of the rest of us, I think, did in a more intuitive way: the punditocracy are lying to us and DK is highly 'electable'.

23. He got my Tennessee vote.

Plus, I obtained a number of other votes from work associates, family, and friends to whom I spoke. I even went next door and hauled my neighbor with me to the polls.
