sorry, Bobert (and Carol)...but Kucinich couldn't even get Larry King to recognize him when he raised his hand! Having some good ideas is useless if you can't be a 'presence'- and always get seated at the far end of the table. He can still make waves if he goes about it right, but he will never be thought of as 'presidential' by any appreciable number.

(and that is NOT meant to belittle him...I know many men & women who can think ..and have fine ideas.. who should NOT be in charge of a country...me & thee, for example...*grin*)
