Great catch, Politisite! Kucinich never really stood a chance, did he? Full marks for effort, I guess!

He was the most Liberal of the Democrats. Wanting Inpeachement for the President. He was a huge supporter of retreat from iraq. He was a very nice interview. He wins the, best looking wife poll.

Fred Thompson's wife should have won that poll. Although, I am partial to redheads....

Your right lets say the Democrat with the best looking wife is Kucinich. The Republican best looking wife. Thompson. I can be bipartison on these issues.

Agreed.

And since we're rating the hopeful's wives we should also rank the husband. Bill Clinton comes in first (and last) in this competition.

You have great insight. When Obama wins here in South Carolina, Hilliary will say in a forthcoming speech, "I came in second, but Obama came in third to last".

Interesting that he won't endorse any of the remaining candidates: even though not that many actually voted for him, I'd bet that many more would support his ideals, but saw him as unelectable in a first-past-the-post system.

I think he doen"t think anyone in the field represents his views. I agree that our fast paced system causes a candidate with good ideals and less money to be squeched. It really is not American or freedom. Frankilin said we have a republic if we can keep it. Another said that factions were to be discouraged. With a two party system, I sure can see what our founders were getting at. Will America remain a Republic or will we get a King or a dictator when money and power seem to be what gets one elected. Ideas seem to take a back seat.
