Dean and Clark Supporters Should Back Kucinich

[TheBigDemo]

I know Clark has endorsed Kerry. And I also know that Dean is on the ballot in several states still. I was a former Clark supporter, still am really, because of the combination of electability and progressive stances on the issues. Now, I know neither Dean, Clark, or Kucinich will get the nomination.

But I believe that all three of these men have one important aspect in common. A vision, a progressive vision for the future of America. All three of these men tapped into something in each one of us. They brought new people to the party and energized the base of the party.

I don't want to see that vision and hard work die. I want to see it go on and be heard at the convention. I think the best way to do that is pull together and get some delegates to change the party platform of our states and nation. In addition, we can also make sure our vision is heard and Kerry remembers what party elected him.

I will be placing a John Kerry Sticker on my car too, but I want to make sure that Kucinich, Clark, and Dean supporters are heard as well.

I firmly believe that Clark and Dean have closer platforms to Kucinich than to Edwards or Kerry.

Consider your vote carefully. Kerry is going to win anyway, but we can get some delegates to the convention.

Love you Dean and Kucinich supporters! I'm still voting for Wes. We will let you in through the VP door. Be very quiet. Shhh...

7. Thanks!

I would have voted for Clark, but he was not allowed at the Caucus.

:(

My dream ticket is Clark/Kucinich

2. There's always a chance

All we gotta do is make sure everyone else's delegates have the wrong adress so only Kucinich delegates make it to the convention :D

3. That's a good idea.

I'm a Dean supporter who feels utterly bereft of anywhere to go. I have been giving serious thought to switching to Kucinich. At this point I'm not certain if Dean will be on the ballot here in Kansas for our caucuses on the 13th.

I hate to sit them out, but I will not go and be a Kerry supporter. I could be uncommitted if Dean's not on the ballot.

The real kicker is that I'd had ambitions to try to become a delegate to the national convention. Guess that's over now.

4. Vote for Dean.

Our chance might come back in 2008.

The way I see it, Voting for The Kooch is the same as voting for Dean.

The only difference is that, One of them is still "running" and the other is not(officially).

The way things look now, Dean has a better chance at a platform representation at the convention than The Kooch.

Of course, things could turn differently...but in my opinion, It's highly unlikely.

edit: oopsey!

5. Same happened to me for Clark

I had to go Edwards, Kerry, or Kucinich at my Caucus. I voted with my heart. I lost on the candidate, but went Kucinich. I also wanted to go to the convention, but my candidate was gone.

I went Kucinich, was nominated to be a delegate, by 7 votes to the people that worked all year on his campaign. Only fair I guess though hey.

Face it, you put your stock in a candidate, and you roll the dice. You come up empty or win the big one. We lost. So have to back the person that next supports our values and ideals.

Good Luck to ya. But I advise you switch to Kucinich, they are usually the most friendly and excited group in the room anyway :)

8. I'm voting Kucinich

I went back and forth on what to do after Clark dropped out and a couple days ago decided to go with my heart and vote for Kucinich.

10. Welcome, folks, and thank you. It's not something you'll regret.

Sheila, is there any reason going as a delegate for DK wouldn't work for you? You still have time to make sure you'll have a group big enough to elect you.

[mrgorth]

12. Ya know what

if DK had thrown his IA support behind Dean instead of a war backer I might. I'm voting for Dean.
