Reply #13: Comparing Clinton and McGovern to

[cali]

Kucinich is a mistake. Both men were firmly established in the power axis of the dem party. Clinton, of course, was long considered a rising star and had forged strong ties with party movers and shakers. Clinton was a governor- always an advantage.

There's nothing unsafe about my prediction that Dennis will not get the nomination. Sorry, but he's a marginal figure within the dem power structure. I would literally feel comfortable betting everything I own that Kucinich will not get the nomination. It's quite simply not within the realm of possibility, not only to his lack of connections, but due to his lack of appeal to a broad base, his lack of "charism", and his less than inspiring speech abilities. Yes, the last two are only opinions, but they're shared by a majority. That won't change.
