1. Kucinich's fervent, albeit unorthodox and New Agey, Catholicism
informs every position he takes. He was solidly anti-abortion until 2002.
This makes a large sector of the American left very nervous.
2. He's also downright odd. The man precedes his public speeches with
Tantric meditations. This makes another sector of the American left, smaller
but with more money, even more nervous.
3. He has honest-to-God working-class revolutionary instincts. Unlike
John Edwards, he hasn't forgotten his roots. This makes the smallest but
wealthiest sector of the American left extremely nervous.
I've shaken hands with a few members of Congress, and Kucinich is one of only three (along with Cynthia McKinney and Connecticut's Chris Murphy, who had just been elected and not yet inaugurated) who didn't make me feel queasy. I wish America had a left capable of propelling him all the way, but needless to say, it doesn't.
