In These Times | Give Kucinich a Chance

Kucinich’s political prospects clearly hinge on the popular response to war with Iraq, but he is not campaigning solely as a peace candidate. “I’m the peace candidate,” he says. “I’m the environmental candidate. I’m the repeal-NAFTA candidate. I’m the candidate for international cooperation. I’m the candidate for civil liberties. I’m the candidate for education. I’m the candidate for universal health care. I’m the candidate to preserve Social Security from privatization.”
