Kucinich is the 2004 Replacement Nader for those in the DUh crowd that don't consider Howard Dean angry or loony enough. Like Dean, he has ZERO chance of ever winning, but also like Dean, he's got enough of an ego that he'll probably run as an independent as soon as his RAT campaign folds after the first couple of primaries.
And the only thing that could be better for us than one Nader on the ballot in 2004 is two of them.
The DUmmies are delusionaly clinging desperately to the idea of Dean or Kucinish winning the primary. Their nightmare is Lieberman, who is leading the polls.
