Nader-Kucinich

[Rowsdower]

What will people do if Kucinich agrees to run as Nader's VP candidate?

1. He won't. He's stated so repeatedly.

Dennis Kucinich has stated repeatedly that he will back whomever the party's nominee is, if he does not get the nomination.

In the spirit of seeking to NOT deepen the center/left schism, I do not consider your query worthy of an answer, even if it is a "hypothetical".

2. He won't so there's not reason to consider it.

Kucinich isn't a sell-out and he isn't going to abandon the people he's fought to serve all his life, period.

The flat fact is if he isn't the nominee he will support whoever is and campaign to retain his House seat. He's fully aware of what a loss of a Congressional seat would mean to a Democratic President and he isn't going to be a part of it.

3. ?

I have to ask sometimes are these questions really coming from a progressive or a freeper trying to disguise himself and sow dissension. The answer is so painfully obvious that it begs the question, "why did you ask this at all?"

convention

5. Same thing I'd do

if Kerry agreed to run as Nader's veep. I'd boggle. Dennis is motoring along, collecting chits for the progressive faction in the party. He wouldn't toss his efforts into the crapper and commit political suicide for face time with Ralph.

6. Vote for Kerry.

It really doesn't matter who Nader selects as VP, he won't get enough votes to matter.

7. Besides, Kucinich is too independent to be

ANYONE's VP, a role that requires you to shut up and accept whatever the president says.

8. Kucinich wants to make the Dems a viable "second party"

He's said repeatedly that he's focused like a laser beam on that objective.

The Nader-bashers are just recycled "centrists" who have found another way of bashing liberals - first it was for daring to talk about issues that mattered, and now it's because we might dare to vote for someone who espouses the issues that matter.

Same bash, different day.

It's still the DLC bastards trying to eliminate the progressive planks from the Party.

Now they're just using Nader to accomplish it.

Don't believe me? Have you thought recently that you're going to have to give up what you believe in to support the ostensible Democratic nominee?

Case closed.

9. HE won't

these hypothesis are silly and stupid

10. he wouldnt..

kucinich is focusing on reforming the dem party from the inside, while nader is doing it from the outside. You can't really cross over to the outside and be allowed back in...
