The "left" had two candidates in the Dem primaries - Kucinich and Sharpton. Neither took off. The "left" has a presidential candidate - Nader (and Cobb if you're feeling generous). No takeoff there either. So wuzzup with this? The dastardly media? Realpolitik judgments by the masses? Unpopularity of the left message?
