Cynical pundits suspect the real reason Kucinich is pissed at Edwards is for that conversation between Edwards and Hillary Clinton that was picked up on mike where they said lesser candidates like Kucinich and Gravel should be excluded from the debates (as they now are). Both theories seem to agree that was his motive, to hurt Edwards as far as it was in his power to do so.
