7. Perhaps this is more ABC News spin than Kucinich?
The *tone* of the article is the problem. You really get the impression in the first few paragraphs that he is writing himself off. But far from it, if you read more.

Mainstream news articles have a completely different read if you read them from back to front. You tend to get the real facts first and the spin at the beginning has much less impact.

Kucinich has called himself a long shot before. I think that Dennis is a real threat, a potential spoiler. After the last two Presidential elections, it wouldn't surprise me at all that many Dem party apparatchiks would try to smooth things for Hillary, who many, no doubt, view a sure thing if she gets the nomination.

"The candidate accused the Iowa state Democratic Party of throwing support behind only the leading Democratic contenders."

That's an accusation of support, not conspiracy. Never used the word.

Hmmm.

Hail, Hillary.
