The corporate media played down Kucinich and won

Maybe this site is only for 'imbeciles', and your level of intelligence is so advanced you cannot comprehend something as simple and petty as the poll results shown here, but it's worth a try http://www.dcpoliticalreport.com/2004/IAPoll.htm

Notice Kucinich getting consistenly higher than Lieberman?

Yep, sure do. I also notice a few other things:

In almost every poll, Kucinich is among the candidates respondents could choose from. That means people were able to choose Kucinich, but didn't.

The earliest polls show Lieberman squashing Kucinich, with Lieberman consistently pulling double-digits compared with Kucinich's 1% and often less than 1%. One Zogby poll deliberately removes Clark and Lieberman from the choice of candidates. Does Kucinich do any better? Nope = 1%.

As the primary draws nearer, Lieberman's support gradually plummets when according to you, it should have remained stable because Lieberman was "plastered all over" the media. Meanwhile, Kucinich begins to beat Lieberman, not because Kucinich's support increases by any significant amount, but because support for Lieberman goes from double-digits to falling off the radar.

I thought getting "plastered all over" the media meant people will vote for you?

Why is it so preposterous to ask why, when newspapers show a list of candidates in the running, they specifically omit Kucinich's name? Is that going too far? I argue that the reason Kucinich has a poor showing on the primary is due to the total lack of attention by the media. Some people don't even know he's a candidate until they get to the primaries.

Bueller? Bueller?

What were you saying about Lieberman getting all the media and newspaper coverage while Kucinich received little or none?
