What does Dumbo want?
Kucinich knows he has absolutely no chance of getting nominated.

Why is Dumbo still in the race then?

Everyone claims he is an intellectual.

If he is so smart, then why still in a race he knows he's out of?

So that begs the question; What does Dumbo want?

Given the fact that no politician is altruistic, just what is his motive?

2. I think people who call Kucinich "Dumbo" are mean people
Go figure out what that means for yourself.

3. Walt. I happen to agree with you. But how do you reconcile
calling Kerry a ham sandwich, when you get upset having your own ox gored?

10. You had to be on DU at the time to get it
but that's okay, newbies will figure it out over time.

The Ham Sandwich (D) is a DU term of endearment.

5. I'm guessing five more
posts before this gets locked. What are you trying to accomplish with this thread? You could make your points in a more civil manner.

6. Dumbo wants
All Americans, actually all people, to have better lives (even Chief Joseph!). I really don't know much about Dennis, but I believe that is truly his sincere motivation.

7. Not my candidate but
Edwards is my candidate but Kucinich has added a unique perspective to the conversation. The question is not whether he will win (I think he knows he will not); the question is whether that perspective has been fully discussed.
