Kucinich Wins Virginia Poll

Dennis Kucinich is plenty electable: you just have to show up and vote for him. OpEdNews.com reports that Kucinich came out on top of the Virginia Dems online straw poll. Results:

Dennis Kucinich 30%
Hillary Rodham Clinton 27%
Barack Obama 14%
John R. Edwards 12%
Bill Richardson 9%
Joe Biden 9%

Now that mighty 30% just need to keep the faith and show up at the polls on Feb. 12 (and work on your neighbors!). Dennis will stick with it; so should we!

Asked about the Democratic Party's poll results, Kucinich volunteer Andrea Miller said what she's been saying for months: "Dennis can win. We just have to vote for him."

There are always possibilities, right, Lowell? Funny he doesn't mention this poll. Could it be because he doesn't like to see his favorite, Clinton, beaten by a man of principle?

Dennis Kucinich: All Smarts, No Smarm

Dennis Kucinich holds forth intelligently on Iraq, sub-prime mortgages, real universal health care, NAFTA and the decline of American manufacturing, his Catholicism, and being a real Democrat. This man has the answers, and he doesn't get them from a huge pool of staffers briefing him on what people want him to say.

Kucinich: The Constitution Is Everything

Good press on Dennis Kucinich and why he is the best Dem in the field for President:

I watched and I saw things that I have to admit made me re-think what it is about this country that could make it great. I don't know if it ever truly was as great as Kucinich seems to think it was. I don't even know if he believes it once was so great, but I do know that he thinks it can be great. Not out of some chauvinistic need to be the best, but out of a strong belief that the constitution is a secular document of the highest order that must be obeyed and fulfilled. He is serious about his oath of office that charges him with the duty to defend and protect the constitution. He does not joke about this or use it as a campaign slogan or as a position to give him traction. In fact, his belief in the constitution as a document that takes us to our highest level is what makes him see how we need to behave as moral and legal people in the world. He does not practice Orwellian doublespeak. By defending the constitution he has put his campaign on the line by going after the impeachment of the vice president for lying to this country in order to take us into a war, among many other impeachable offenses listed in the articles of impeachment.

If you believe in the Constitution and want a President who does too, then back Dennis.
