yes.

Kucinich is a joke and brings absolutely nothing to the debates except fodder for late night hosts and pizza hut commercials.

why waste time on him when he's polling dead last in every poll when the time could be used to hear from more competitive candidates?

Yes. :laugh:

The other 2 or 3 Kucinich supporters are preparing for their UFO spotting tonight. :laugh:

I somewhat say to Ron Paul fans, that you can't be credible if you protest the exclusion of your guy and do not protest the exclusion of someone else.

I wondered where he was last night. I even asked if he had dropped out.

I think it is wrong they didn't allow him to be included. There were only 4 candidates, plenty of room for Kucinich.

Is there an official reason why he was not included? Did the NH Democrat Party do anything about it?

ABC had a standard of either 5% in any major poll or 5% in Iowa. They made a backslap at Fox by pointing out Paul Squeaked in, but were silent on Kucinich. Kucinich is now suing. The dems tried the same censorship with Nader in 2000 and it cost them the election. And In MHO, it would have been a better debate with Kuchinich in than out.

Its good to see that CNN is using this as an opportunity to discredit Fox. Good for them, and good for Ron.

Yeah, because CNN is tops on the credibility charts. :laugh:

At this moment, they are more credible than fox.

We'll have to see once the ratings book is out for the week.

CNN is a much better place for him anyway. Much smaller book, more tinfoil per viewer.

To say that Kucinich brings nothing to the debate is absolutely ridiculous. If you look over the transcripts he consistently gives the most thoughtful substantive answers. I don't think he'd make a good president but he adds to the discussion.

Plus he's had the best line of the campaign season so far.
