Wow. Dennis Kucinich!
Saw him on C-Span Road to the White House earlier. He looks great. Sharp clothes, good hair and a TAN! Too bad it matters.

1. What is it with America's obsession with physical appearance?
If Lincoln was alive today, there would be no way he'd even be considered for President. Kucinich has wonderful ideas, and great character. I hope he becomes President.

3. He would make a great President. I adore him! As for looks,
apparently Americans were not obsessed with looks when they voted for Nixon.

8. No, but they did when they voted against him
Remember, it's widely agreed that Nixon lost the election against JFK because it was all televised... and Nixon LOOKED like a sweaty criminal.

17. Heck, they made fun of him in engravings! Called him "the Gorilla."
I think that once they met him in person, his downhome Kentucky accent and backwoods stories (trying to mask the fact that he was a leading RR lawyer in Springfield) was the master stroke for making friends. He was supposed to have been a superb and rather randy story teller, keeping male audiences in stitches for hours around the brandy keg. . .

2. Most charming politician I've ever seen in person, bar none
He leaves Edwards in the dust for personal charm.

6. I heard him speak at a dinner in suburban St. Paul in 2004, his third
event of the day, with another event to follow, and all the kitchen staff came out and wanted to have their pictures taken with him.

He obliged cheerfully and kidded around with them before going on to his next event.

4. After the smirking, scowling pair we've had these past six years,
Dennis's always smiling, friendly face is most welcome.

13. I agree - DK looked 100% better and sexy. Of course, having that "hot" wife
of his helped his image quite a bit. Go Dennis!!

16. those who REALLY wants to help the Kucinich campaign...NOW IS THE TIME!!
you can do it RIGHT NOW on DU/Act Blue.

If those who care about the issues Mr. Kucinich raises donate NOW – HE WILL BE

A TOP-TIER CANDIATE!!


I'm not addressing those who do not support Congressman Dennis Kucinich

and do not agree with him on the issues. I'm addressing those who DO

support Congressman Kucinich and/or do agree with him on the issues:

Donating to the Kucinich 2008 campaign through DU/ACT Blue is very fast.

It's very easy. Do it now!

link:

http://www.actblue.com/entity/fundraisers/12518
---------

Some are supporting Congressman Kucinich because they strongly believe he can win. Others are supporting him because they support his agenda (or at least most of it) and want those issues brought to the center of public debate.

Mr. Kucinich does not have the funding of the top-tier candidates. Corporate lobbyist seeking government favoritism for their special interest won’t be writing their $2300 checks paying for access like they do for other candidates. But small donations DO add up very, very fast. That's how the Dean campaign became a significant force in 2004.

So whether or not you are convinced that Congressman Kucinich could possibly win...if you want the issues only Dennis Kucinich raises brought to the public square, if you believe his message of Strength through Peace is important, that the whole question of corporate control of government is important, that single-payer universal health care is important, if you believe American needs fundamental changes; his campaign needs a lot more money then it has in its coffers now.

IF anywhere near half the people who agree with Congressman Dennis Kucinich on the issues sent him a donation -- he would be a major top-tier contender very, very fast:

Donating through DU/ACT Blue is very fast. It's very easy. Do it now! I did...

link:

http://www.actblue.com/entity/fundraisers/12518

He won't be getting a whole lot from the corporate lobbyist buying access for their special interest and paying for favoritism... so ...

PLEASE DONATE NOW ! you can do it RIGHT NOW on DU/Act Blue.

It's fast. It's very easy. Do it now! I did…..
