Note: If this doesn't make sense, try reading the How it works page, or view the table form.
The dotted line represents the number of votes that guarantees victory (50% of counted votes).
In the first round, the first choices on each ballot are tallied.
Dennis Kucinich has enough votes to guarantee victory and is declared a winner.

1. There is no candidate as good for unions in the race
Kucinich is the candidate that all union members ought to vote for.

3. Web polls can be "framed"
and they could be "freeped". Nobody in their right mind should bet their monthly salary on them. But they're straws in the wind, all the more so if other such indications come up strongly for Dennis. He's the secret hope of almost everyone here.

We're all getting mind-fucked into the notion that "this country has shifted HEAVILY to the right". Maybe not; fairly framed polls on specific issues keep showing that the general public is well to the left of the corporate-friendly media ... the ones who espouse such "opinions". The problem is that so many have dropped out of the political process in (well founded) disgust. If we don't bring THEM back in, we're SCREWED. Among the ~47% of eliglibe voters who voted in 2000, Bush is still pretty well "even money". His incumbency & cash edge WILL push him over the top, unless somebody reinspires the ones who would otherwise not bother to vote. Dennis seems to be doing just that wherever he shows up, but the media seems to be trying hard to marginalize him. Ask yourself WHY?

5. It's shows that many people agree with him in principle.
It's also a good exposition of DK's depth of support. I firmly believe that while DK is not the FIRST choice of many Democrats (as the primary/caucuses has shown), he is many people's second choice and one that they probably agree with more often than not. I can't tell you how many times I've heard people say that they "...agree with Kucinich the most, but he's ________" (insert excuse here). IF this election were an no-BS issues-oriented campaign, DK would win in a landslide.

6. It's no wonder why he has the most delegates
these Internet polls must be very reflective of reality.
