From the time when Dennis the Menace fought the good fight against the Cleveland utility robber barons http://www.kucinich.us/peoplepower.php http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0123-04.htm when he was Mayor, I've admired his spunk. His strategic and tactical sense, his alleged early Rightist, Racist opportunism http://www.kucinich.com/Racist%20&%20Opportunist.htm ala the early Ray Flynn, later Boston Mayor in the 90's, let alone the New Age looniness, http://www.realchange.org/kucinich.htm#newage http://www.realchange.org/kucinich.htm , nope. And, 90% of his supporters I've engaged in conversation at rallies have been the type of old hippie, birkenstock wearin' nudniks (Websters defines 'nudnik' as an annoying, unbearable windbag...Nudniks: Funny or Pathetic? Right-wing Nudniks; Left-wing Nudniks; Neo-conservative Nudniks; Feminist Nudniks; Israel : Nudnik Nation? ... http://www.issei2004.haifa.ac.il/Bloom,%20Sam.htm ) that couldn't organize an election for a vegetarian food co-op, let alone a primary campaign for the DP. http://www.cleveland.com/kucinich/index.ssf?/kucinich/more/107710023089091.html Asked if he could be embarrassed in his home state by a poor showing in the March 2 primary, Kucinich quipped: "Once you've been mayor of Cleveland, you can't be embarrassed." Oy vey, Dennis!
