USATODAY.com - Internet-propelled liberal aims for White House

A year ago, Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich gave an emotional speech championing civil liberties and protesting the war in Afghanistan. Circulated widely on the Internet, it made him a liberal hero and spawned a Draft Kucinich movement. Monday, at an AFL-CIO forum in Iowa, he accepted the challenge with a fiery vow to create "a workers' White House." Wednesday he planned to announce formation of a committee to raise money for a presidential bid.

Well, my ex-wife Pat isn't impressed. She is from Cleveland. But he can write good speeches. He can also write mediocre ones I noticed later.

I should get more feedback from Pat's Republican leaning family from outside Cleveland. Heh, I like him even if he will be painted more liberal than Dukakis and so unelectable unless the economy really goes in the toilet, very possible, and Bush succeeds in getting us in the "tar-baby" that is Iraq..
