Dennis Kucinich in Hawaii: Way to go!!

[theoceansnerves]

DK got 30% of the caucus votes, his highest percentage so far. I think the campaigning there might have paid off. Congratulations!!

[Fovea]

1. Way to go Dennis

What wonderful news. Now lets see what we can do on Super Tuesday.

[RichM]

2. I'm happy about this!! I just saw it a few minutes ago.

Yay, Dennis!!

3. Congratulations guys!!!

I did see that Kerry got 46%, but 30% for Dennis is absolutely amazing! There's hope for this world yet!

[DemBones DemBones]

4. Dennis!!! Dennis!!! Dennis!!!

Dennis :yourock:

Now, will the media report this? I'm not holding my breath.

[ThirdWheelLegend]

6. Go Dennis! as for the media... agreed

After the Maine and Washington caucuses I remember finding at least 3 major news website's front page stories on the those caucuses that had ZERO mention of Dennis Kucinich. Although he finished 3rd in both. Anyone who still doesn't think the media is intentionally ignoring Kucinich is ... well, intentionally ignoring Kucinich.

GO DK!

99% reporting and Kucinich has 30%, Edwards in third with 13%.
So much for that unelectable thing, eh?

[goodhue]

16. yes

the intentional ignoring of DK could hardly be more transparent

[TeeYiYi]

5. Way to go DK !!! Yeah. Excellent. .......n/t

[Frodo]

40. I really didn't get your point from the subject line.

But the body of the message cleared everything up.

[buddhamama]

8. Fantastic !

Woo Hoo :toast: Man i am pysched, great news!

GO DK GO :bounce:

[maddezmom]

9. Good showing for DK

congrats to DK and his supporters. :)

[wheresthemind]

10. Ohio, Minnesota, and California HERE WE COMMMMMMEEE!

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. WTG, Dennis!

Congratulations! Great showing! NOW, will the PRESS pay attention? Will they tell the sheeple about it? It seems as though John Edwards is the only candidate where a 2nd place showing means anything. :grr: This is great news for Dennis and SHOULD make the airwaves. :yourock: Go, Dennis!

[wheresthemind]

12. On satuday both Edwards and Kucinich were here...

2300 come out for Dennis...
less then 2000 come out for Edwards...

Bet you cannot guess who got the attention? We drew 4500 STATE WIDE and still not mentioned...

GUHSD:JKfhd';asd

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. *sigh* I understand.

:(.......I've been there. Damn media! They suck! :grr: Edwards doesn't deserve all the attention he's getting. He's won 1 damn state... THE ONE HE WAS BORN IN. Puleeeeeease!

[jenk]

24. enough already

edwards does deserve the attention, he's one of the 2 men left standing and he came from behind to copletely destroy clark after trailing him by 15-20%.

[diamondsoul]

26. Enough already yourself.

Edwards is one of FOUR MEN left standing. Again, he's won 1 State, and much of his Iowa showing came from the help of Kucinich supporters.

Now then, you want glowing reports on Edwards, find an Edwards thread. Don't come to Kucinich celebratory threads and expect those of us who support him to suck up to you because you've got a media darling candidate.

[dae]

42. WAAAAAYY TO GO!!! You DK folks have worked your rears off for a long

long time, plus I REALLY liked the way you put that Edwards supporter in his place}(. Again, Congrats to all of you, he's a great man and Democrat. I'm glad he's still in the race. Keep the faith.:yourock:
:dem:

[diamondsoul]

48. Thank you so much!

Come on over if you're inclined. You'll be welcomed with open arms!

On the Edwards thing, I'm PISSED to say the least! Edwards won out on the Iowa deal which is fine, but to sit there and act as if it didn't make a difference is not acceptable to me. The if that's not enough he turns around and calls for Kucinich and Sharpton to be shut out of debates! Yeah and a hearty f*ck you, too, Edwards! No, Sir I will not shut up, and No, Sir, I will not let up on you. Not now, and not in November. This will be remembered.

Clean campaign my heiney! It's been ugly just well hidden.

[diamondsoul]

49. By the way,

smack the General for me would you? (I LOVE that man but dammit WHY Kerry?!)

[dae]

56. LOL, I haven't committed to anyone, since Clark withdrew.

Is DK on the ballot in Louisiana?:)

[revcarol]

60. On the ballot in EVERY state and U. S. possession.

This man is for REAL and won't neglect people, no matter which state they live in!!

PEOPLE OVER CORPORATIONS, THAT'S MY DENNIS!!

[diamondsoul]

65. As far as I know yes he is.

He's shooting for all 50 States and we're busting butt to make it a reality. You're not obligated to commit to anyone, just warmly invited iou like.:toast:

[goodhue]

43. thank you, diamondsoul!

Nothing against Edwards, but the twin cities media coverage of last Saturday is an object lesson in media bias against Kucinich. Media did not cover Kucinich rally that was larger than well-covered Edwards rally. The rallies went down at the same time.

[diamondsoul]

50. *snarl* That's the part that chaps me the most...

it's so effin' in yer face! I can't believe how many people keep excusing it as if it's ok.

[ISUGRADIA]

44. Kucinich got 30% of the 4000 who showed up in Hawaii

or about 1200 people. Edwards got over so 283,000 votes in WI so there is a matter of difference between coming in second in a state.

Kucinich's own campaign has said in Iowa that entrance polls showed him at 4% so saying (about Edwards) "much of his Iowa showing came from the help of Kucinich supporters." is ridiculous.

Face facts, Kucinich is a candidate with limited appeal who will be lucky to break 15% in his home state next week. He may another 50-100 delegates before the season (if lucky) is over but he won't be VP, he won't get a cabinet spot, and at the DNC in Boston he'll probably get a 2PM speaking slot.

[diamondsoul]

47. Uh...ok

so you're telling me that Kucinich supporters didn't help make Edwards viable where he wasn't? Bull shit.

See I heard from Iowa Caucusers directly. Entrance polls mean squat when some caucus goers don't decide until they walk through the door. Kucinich had somewhere around 6% or so of the exit polls for initial support in Iowa so YEAH, I'd say Edwards OWES ME, thanks.

Oh, and do tell what the hell difference it makes if Edwards wasn't VIABLE how much support he had.

[goodhue]

14. excellent

DK has a very strong second in HA as I hoped he would. Two-man race be damned.

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

17. Mahalo nui, Hawai'i!

:loveya:

I knew there was a reason I enjoyed my two UH summer sessions so much...

[bicentennial_baby]

18. Woot woot

Go DK! :bounce:

[jpgray]

19. I'm working hard for him in MN--convinced a few folks to go DK

This is really great news.

[indigo32]

21. I think MN will go well for Dennis

eom

[goodhue]

22. we hope so

[indigo32]

32. I'll be voting for him there.

eom

[goodhue]

41. good to here

[goodhue]

45. hear, hear!

[ThirdWheelLegend]

46. Is that a pic from Cleveland?

That looks like the Terminal Tower behind them.

My roommate was there, but I found out about it too late and didn't get a chance to go. That was last Thursday, but a friend of mine saw Danny Glover at the Cavaliers game on Monday night, so he must still be in town helping out Kucinich! GO DK and GO DG!

[redqueen]

29. Thank you Hawaii caucus goers!!!!

:loveya:

DK ROCKS! They know it, and they voted their conscience. I am so very very impressed. Hawaiians rule!

:yourock:

[mdmc]

38. That guy looks like a young Arlo Guthrie

peace..go..go..Dennis!

[chocolateeater]

30. Congratulations to Mr Kucinich!!!

:bounce: And it was actually on CNN and MSNBC this morning!:bounce:
A favorable media mention for Dennis-there's a first time for everything.

[Paulie]

31. And here I was thinking Hawaii would give him 20%

Thanks so much Hawaii!!!! :yourock:

[robertpaulsen]

33. How many delegates for DK?

Congratulations to all who voted for Kucinich. He's certainly got my vote next Tuesday in California. Anybody know how many delegates he got from Hawaii? I was so disappointed that he didn't get any from Maine after doing so well there.

Go Dennis!

[robertpaulsen]

34. Just saw Freddie Stubbs post

Kucinich won 8 delegates.

[diamondsoul]

52. Some claim 6, but the total is 8

I believe. Either way it's a step up.

Am spending the next 2 days + on the phone with voters in upcoming states. By God, I'll do everything I can possibly do to help him win.

[no name no slogan]

35. I slept in and woke up to this....!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn, WAY TO GO HAWAII!!!!! This is SPECTACULAR NEWS!

....and wouldn't you know it, absolutely NO COVERAGE on MSN's website about DK's strong 2nd place, with virtually NO media attention.

Just wait until next Tuesday, though....Minnesota will go BIIIIG for DK! Maybe even first! We're all completely energized and hitting the streets in our precincts in a BIG way.

This race STILL ain't over. HOPE LIVES!

:toast:

[WarNoMore]

36. This is so great!

I was so psyched-- I had plans so see Dennis today in Cambridge, but couldn't contact my ride to make final arrangements. I'm doubly bummed now that I won't be seeing him speak on the back of this win. BooHoo!

[KamaAina]

37. Dennis earned my vote

by actually coming here -- twice -- as well as by standing up for peace, of course.

Even local media coverage has been, ah, subdued: the Gannett-owned Advertiser had Dennis in a subhead, while the Star-Bulletin was "All Kerry, All the Time".

[Desertrose]

39. YES YES YES! DK rules!!

when he gets to speak to the people...makes all the difference in the world!

Peace & hope

[RegenerationMan]

51. This is great! Congratulations to all the DK supporters!

I know which island DK will go to for his vacation after the election!

[Zomby Woof]

72. Aloha!

Dennis goes Hawaiian!! :D

[jpgpenn]

53. Great job for DK, even with the medias

Edwards hipe!

[goodhue]

54. kick

[mountainvue]

55. I was so happy to see him do so well in Hawaii!

[lams712]

57. THANKS HAWAII!!!!! WAY TO GO!!!!!

DK IS THE MAN!!!!!!!! Hard work pays off. GOOD JOB DK AND HIS HAWAII CAMPAIGN STAFF!!!

[The Sushi Bandit]

58. Mahalo to everyone who voted for Dennis

He fights for all!

[zulchzulu]

64. I forgot what the word for mahalo was :->

Mmmm, Hawaiian mahalo.

[littlejoe]

59. If it were me, I'd spend all of my time campaigning there.

[revcarol]

61. Did you see the report from the Maui newspaper?

Even the Dem party had to admit that Dennis BROUGHT OUT THE VOTE!!

[zulchzulu]

62. Kootch!!!!

[diamondsoul]

66. And shall we all see the maturity levels

of our opponents?

:eyes: :thumbsdown: :boring:

[mvd]

63. Congrats, DK!

Just shows what some exposure can do. Thanks for the news.

[Scottie72]

67. This is the best news

I have heard in days! With all the news about the FMA, I have been depressed and upset. This has brought a huge smile to my face!

GO DK!!!!!!

[Kathleen04]

68. Congrats to DK and supporters!!

Way to go! I was hoping that Kucinich would do great in Hawaii..campaigning there was a very smart idea. :)

[Guava Jelly]

69. looks like dennis only got 6 delegates from hawaii

from cnn
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/primaries/pages/states/HI/index.html
updated: 1:29 p.m.,
February 25
Kerry 1,871 50% 14 97% reporting not available not available
Kucinich 981 26% 6
Edwards 512 14% 0
Dean 323 8% 0
Sharpton 0 0% 0

[Kathleen04]

70. Yeah...

Hawaii is worth 20 total...

[ThirdWheelLegend]

73. I heard 8, maybe CNN is trying to use their influence?

:evilgrin:
Because earlier in the night, CNN had 99% reporting and had Kucinich at 30% with 8 delegates.

And this is from the Honolulu Star Bulletin...
http://starbulletin.com/breaking/breaking.php?id=2408

"Kerry is expected to take 12 Hawaii delegates and Kucinich will take the remaining eight delegates to the national convention in Boston in July."


So who speaks the truth?

TWL

[Crunchy Frog]

71. Congratulations Kucinich!

Way to go! :toast:

I hope he can get some more really strong showings and get some real delegates going into the convention.

I may very well try to caucus for him here in Colorado, now that my guy is out.

Kucinich supporters, :yourock:
