In politics, it's not usually a good idea to take an absolute, categorical stand on an issue....he never knows when he'll have to back down and explain why it couldn't be avoided.

On reading more of Kucinich's ideas, I think that he could be a very useful advisor to a president, and voice of reason on many issues, but just cannot believe his 'style' and administrative abilities would work well as the "front man".

*sigh*...the political climate sure doesn't bode well for getting ANY competent, thoughtful candidate to run OR win.
