Harley Sorenson (SF Chronicle columnist) endorses Kucinich today

[RichM]

He takes some good hard pokes at Kerry & Edwards, too, but promises in the end to vote for the Dem nominee. A plain-spoken, earnest column -- nothing fancy or earth-shattering, but Sorenson is known for calling a spade a spade.

================
Some good excerpts:

Kerry, Edwards Care More About Polls Than Character

"...Besides all that, Kucinich, at 5-foot-7, is two inches shorter than the average American male. We can't have that. Everyone knows how important it is for our president to be tall. So, the TV corporations protect us from the short man, making sure he doesn't get any more face time on TV than absolutely necessary. Give a guy like Kucinich too much exposure, and people might start to figure out he makes sense.

...As a California primary voter, what all this means to me is, although I like Edwards, I'll vote for the man with good ideas and a semblance of character, Dennis Kucinich. And, in the end, I'll vote for the Democrats' choice, no matter who he is...."

1. Ooops, now I see this is a dupe. Please lock....

2. Why do we forget about character?

"If I don't demonstrate any character, I'm no good for anybody."

Kerry: Bush lied but we gotta keep plundering Iraq.

Edwards: I'm against NAFTA but don't mind giving American jobs to China.

Character, the forgotten virtue. Compared to the hype of electability, it's in the basement.
