Body: Dennis on Ed Schultz for three hours Wednesday 9/12
Dennis Kucinich will take to the airwaves for an unprecedented three hours today (Wednesday) when he becomes the first Presidential hopeful to accept the invitation of one of the nation's premiere radio broadcasters, Ed Schultz, for a no-holds-barred discussion of the issues, the candidates, and the priorities in the 2008 campaign.
Kucinich will be in Schultz's Fargo (North Dakota) studio beginning at noon (ET) to field questions from "America's #1 Progressive Talker" and from an audience that includes millions of listeners on local affiliates, including subscribers to Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio. (Check here) for local listings. The program is also streamed live over the Internet.
In national polls, Kucinich has been steadily creeping up on the perceived Democratic front-runners – Clinton, Obama, and Edwards – and, in some recent on-line surveys, he has significantly out-polled those top three.
Almost simultaneous with the first Presidential discussion on the Ed Schultz program, Kucinich will be participating in the Huffington Post "Democratic Presidential Mashup"
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tag/candidate-mashup/ where he will address wide-ranging questions from citizens all across the country that will posted and broadcast later this week.
After the Schultz program, Kucinich will leave for Hawaii, where he will be the first Presidential candidate to reach out to voters there since the campaign began early this year.
