On a more positive note...

I have held out hope for Al Gore to jump into the presidential race a lot longer than I should have. I didn't think it fair to get behind ANY candidate, knowing all too well that if Al should jump in I would quickly abandon my choice. But, I can now honestly say that, were Al to jump into the race tomorrow, it would not sway my full support for....

DENNIS KUCINICH!!!

For there is NO OTHER CANDIDATE (IMO) who consistently demonstrates the philosophy that I identify as being wholly Democratic and wholly American.

I will be proud to do what I can to help DK win the Democratic nomination.

1. not to mention
that if he were to jump in at this point it would go unsaid that he has been toying with americas heartstrings, more political manuevering.

5. Many of us may not like the length of the campaign season, but
we must give credit to those candidates who have put in the time and great effort to make it this far along. For anyone to jump in now, would be akin to Rosie Ruiz jumping into the last mile of a marathon race.

14. Exactly!
I don't like being fucked with!

That's why I've believed he isn't going to run and he means it when he says it!

Because he just wouldn't toy with my affections like that! He's to good of a soul. ;)

9. Thank you for his support, and I must add that it feels good, to
jump on the bandwagon. At least I know I won't have to hold my nose to vote.

11. I only really learned about Kucinich's platform, his issues, and his solutions while
researching the declared candidates last spring.

He's the real deal, IMHO.

4. absolutely! Kucinich is the FDR of the current candidate lot....
The only one with real vision and an utterly true sense of American democratic values.

7. I'm with you...
and Al has probably already contributed more as a private citizen than he could have done as a politician.

12. I have a funny feeling
that you never were a true Gore supporter. Not in the true sense. This has nothing to do with Kucinich. I like Kucinich and he has my support at this time. I would still like to see Gore on top of the ticket.
