Kucinich not getting enough votes to be on ballot

Kizzume

It's looking like Kucinich isn't getting enough votes to be on the ballot in two places--Iowa and Alabama.

Well, it's looking like I'm going to be getting Ron Paul stickers soon.

This does not surprise me for the media, most all mainstream media, tries to portray him as some kind of nut. Or they want to talk about his wife. They avoid his policies for they make sense and they do not want to give the people a real choice. The media has decided pretty much who the candidates will be.

What's really sad is how many people don't realize that.

But he is a nut. People aren't ready for him. Sad, but true.

He's definitely not mainstream. Sad

IMO, he is not a nut, but more like a visionary, whether you agree with him or not, he is the only one that has a different agenda than business as usual and we see how that type of thinking has done for us.

True. Quite true--however, Ron Paul seems to want something that's quite different than the other candidates as well.

The sad part is that the media is doing everything possible to eliminate the visionaries. Paul will not go away. kuncinich is finding support on the web also. Will they win, probably not, but their message is still getting out there.

Just out of how much money Paul raises, I don't think he's going to be out of the race anytime soon. Paul has both internet support AND other support, and he has broken records in receiving contributions. Kucinich on the other hand--I just don't think he's going to be able to bring in enough money where it counts--and not being on the ballot in two states--it just doesn't look good. I think the way things are now, Kucinich has as much chance as Ralph Nader has in the past.

Guys, the election is a year away. We have a month or two before these superfluous candidates start dropping like flies.

That's true--but when a pattern emerges at this time already, and it's looking like certain candidates are doomed from the get-go, it's hard not to talk about it. Wink

I have hopes, but they're not very big. I think we'll be stuck with a choice of Giuliani and Hillary. It will be Clinton/Edwards or Clinton/Obama. on one side, and I wonder if it will be Giuliani/Robertson or Giuliani/Dobson on the other.... okay, so I'm being extreme.... Smile

You know, I would watch. You may be surprised and see a Clinton/Richardson ticket considering that Bill Richardson is a long time Clinton associate.

Quite possibly.

Good point.

Richardson would be an excellent addition to any ticket. he does have the most experience in diplomacy than any other candidate. Plus he could bring in more voters. he would be a good choice, IMO.
