I'm curious.... what would happen with Bush vs. Kucinich?

[glugglug]

I'm fairly sure Kucinich would fare better among relatively informed people such as most of those in this forum than among the general populace, but I'm curious to see how he would do even there. Who would you pick if these were the 2 main candidates & why?

I think most of you know that for me this is a really easy decision. The only issues that I disagree with Kucinich on from the CNN list are affirmative action, arctic drilling (I think we should be looking for more sources of oil, even if cutting back consumption), and nationalized healthcare, with the nationalized healthcare being the biggest gripe of those 3. Actually, nationalized healthcare could be an improvement if it is carefully implemented but I don't believe that can really happen. That means I disagree with Bush on about 80-85% of everything.

I especially like the fact that he had the balls to speak out against the Patriot Act and the war against Iraq from the beginning rather than joining the bandwagon as it became more clear that there were no WMD.

I'd vote for the vegen, just because Bush is a sell-out.

Heh, Kucinich is winning right now out of a few votes but in a national election it would be no contest, Bush would win by a landslide :\

Easy.

Kucinich.

i WOULD VOTE FOR kUCINICH'S left testacle before I voted for Bush.

I'm suprised that I agree with a lot of Kucinich's ideas more so than the other liberals.... but I don't think he can beat Bush.

Bush in a landslide.

 

[glugglug]

Currently a 5:4 landslide just like the last one!

I wonder if Kucinich would still carry the Golden State.

Definitely Kucinich. I even wrote a few campaign letters tonight!

And I mean *wrote* - not typed, not photocopied, but actually wrote, with a pen. I still think he's got a chance to make a strong showing before the convention rolls around. What I like most about him is that he's up-front - he lays the issues out, tries to focus debates on the issues instead of the crud. He's actually got a platform, some visions, and some plans. Now if the media would just stop ignoring him, he'd really pick up some momentum!
