Reply #19: Dean and Kucinich are polar opposites.Is the idea to keep Dean out of 08? [View All]

[Padme Amidala]

Dean opposes universal health care. Dean puts industry before the environment-always. Dean supports NAFTA. Dean is pro death penalty and, according to his own words (June, 2003, "Meet the Press), he became pro death penalty because he wanted to kill an innocent man.

The Dean supporters are trying to kick the Kucinich supporters off committee, at all levels, so that the next platform will not included anything Kucinich supports.

So why would Kucinich supporters support Dean over someone like Wellington Webb, who agrees with Dennis on everything?

I think the trick is to keep Dean from running for President in 2008. I also think this will backfire. Dean will do everything possible to get Kucinich from getting the nomination since he opposes virtually everything for which Dennis stands. It's a stupid plan that will cost Dennis the 2008 nomination and which will move the party to the right, where Dean wants it.
