Why is Dennis Kucinich being left off of so many poll sites on the web?

Question

Is he being intentionally marginalised or accidently overlooked?

Answer 1

Kucinich received less than 1% media coverage in 2004. I heard a reporter say that fellow reporters had been told not to cover him at all (unless it was negative).

I think the reason for this is he is such a man of the people with such sane, intelligent ideas for a future full of compassion and hope that if the people hear about him and truly came to see his multitute of gifts, all their ignoring him won't help as the grassroots movement spreads as it did last time--by word of mouth and the excitment of his supporters.

Although I don't think he can win, perhaps when people gain hope of having a true representative of the people with a visinary outlook, they may no longer settle for the multitude of horrible and boring candidates we are offered.

I met him several times and was highly impressed and excitment was very strong from his supporters. Many of the voting rights advocates in my city are activists due to first becoming activists due to Kucinich and the hope hje offered. But he did lose supporters for folding over the war and his many petition signatures, some felt.

He has been compared in some of the many articles about him to Martin Luther King, Abe Lincoln, Bobby Kennedy, Ganhdi, and Roosevelt. He is easily one of the most intelligent people running, highly principled, with great insight, A man of vision who would lift the lives of hundreds of millions of people if he could see his vision come to pass.

Unfortunately, a man of such integrity will never become president, I believe, especially until we have publically financed campaigns, media reform, and rigged elections. IO campaigned for him ast time and I will vote for him again even if I feel he hasn't a chance..I am tired of always voting for the lesser...

And since I no longer believe our vote really counts, it will be a vote of conscience.

Answer 2

He intentionally marginalizes himself by being...marginally sane. His first act as President would be to turn the Pentagon into a day care center. He's a certified Moon bat kook. Only a pathetic moron would swallow his garbage.

Answer 3

Based on his performance the last time around, most people don't consider him a viable candidate and would be, more or less, wasted space on a survey.

Answer 4

in answer to your question . . . neither.
He attempted a run last time and got little real support. Polls haven't ignored him, he's just not a realistic candadate.
