Kucinich. Take a look at his positions. He is the quintessential Democrat. On the issue-by-issue "taste tests", Kucinich usually comes out ahead, if you're a progressive Democrat.
The other candidates, in general, have many pro-corporate positions (won't fight insurance companies for health care, et cetera), but hide them well in debates.
If it came down to issues, I think Kucinich would win. I'm voting for him, donating, and doing everything I can to let people know. It's obvious who the media think will win (want to win?), so why waste your vote on a "frontrunner" with whom you don't totally agree?
If you can't vote on the issues in a primary, when can you?

I really don't think anyone will get even time as long as CNN runs the debate.. Even the questions were slanted to help Hillary regain what she lost. The debate was a complete farce.
To answer your question.. I liked what Biden had to say and have always been impressed with his stands on issues.. Would he be a good President? I'm not sure on that BUT he sure would be better then the rest that are running in the democratic party.. I would love to see him and Ron Paul as running mates.. (highly unlikely) and they really don't agree on alot of the issues but a great mix I'd think.. Yes a republican with a democrat.. or maybe both will run as an independent together?
My only question about him is he has been in the government for 35 years and I'm afraid he may be slightly tainted by the recent and past administrations.

It would be more of a toss up. Because all the candidates would have to be focused on policy and not on Hillary. The media is guilty of this perpetuation of Hillary media because they are the ones asking the questions and they just keep it focused on her. It's disgusting and the media is now just as corrupt as the government they the corporate interests chose.
I'm voting for Kucinich or Edwards. It just seems that when the camera is turned toward them, they actually say something of substance rather than play the Hillary game that the media wants them to play. Kucinich is better than Edwards at keeping to policy. But Edwards is a great candidate. Joe Biden is really good too.

I agree. The media anointed Hillary and Obama as front runners till now there exchange into the favored help for the two consequently insuring that no different candidate could get adequate of a voice available to get their factor throughout the time of. in case you desire data merely look on the Republicans. maximum of their applicants get a similar quantity of play interior the media so no person stands out greater advantageous than the others. hence you nevertheless have quite a few possible applicants. on the Dem area although the media in basic terms seems to push the Hillary and Obama thoughts so those 2 get disproportionate call popularity time.

I think Biden would with Richardson as a running mate. I really like what Richardson has to say about education. I like Biden's no BS style. I would love to see Kucinich get it. But people are afraid of him.

I think Biden and Dodd would both be more in the thick of it.
