"Personally, Congressman Kucinich, more than any other candidate, shares the same positions that I have on the issues (although the UFO that picked ME up would only take me as far as Kalamazoo). But let’s not waste time talking about Dennis. Even he is resigned to losing, with statements like the one he made yesterday to his supporters in Iowa to throw their support to Senator Obama as their 'second choice.'"

Moore doesn't even have the balls to support the only candidate running with single-payer health care and try and make him a shoe-in. 

Kucinich did this in 2004 with Edwards and Edwards screwed him. He is doing it now with Barack Obama.

He's letting his worst enemy get one last deadly blow in. MIDGET --- WEAKLING --- SAW A UFO --- and now, he's surrendering. 

Does he really believe that Obama would bring change? He couldn’t. Visit Dennis4President.com and you will see all the headline articles and statements put out by Kucinich on all the things these Democratic candidates must own up to. He says they will have to explain their poor foreign policies, poor health care policies, poor records in Congress, etc. These go back to the summer.

He’s giving  and has been the Republicans ammunition to make Democrats stand on their toes from now until November when they lose. He’s giving them all this information to get Obama and Clinton flip-flopping a la Jimmy Carter. I can't wait to see them dance like fools as they try to handle the truth. (I'll resist quoting A Few Good Men here.) 

It's not Kucinich's fault. You can’t blame him for being honest but honestly, Dennis loses here. The media picks this up as a surrender, an admittance of defeat. His progressive supporters drift from supporting him to Obama or Edwards. They put their money behind the "REAL DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE", the one who we all will expect to keep the next Republican from winning. They move to helping the media and corporate establishment narrow the race down to three.

But three’s a crowd…and we will have to get rid of somebody.

So like Quiz Show, it becomes what is the best narrative. And I believe pitting the first woman vs. the first black makes for the best based on a true story film that will be coming to a theater near you next fall.
