"Dennis Kucinich is a fine example of a very intelligent politician who took on the real ISSUES in a far more clear and honest manner than any of the other presidential candidates in the two major parties, and how did the public and the media react to him? They mostly just ignored him. He wasn't even allowed to participate in two crucial primary debates. He was shut out of them on ridiculous technicalities. Why? Because he was telling uncomfortable truths."

That is just your opinion.

I like Kucinich, but the last place I want to see him is in the White House. I don't think his ideas and demeanor would work in THAT job.   I think he is a much better force for change where he is, just as Ted Kennedy has done in the Senate.

You might call it a "technicality", but the rules were set. His campaign was not sparking. You cannot simply turn a camera on EVERYONE that has a "good idea". The individual needs to build that spark of interest.   Kucinich was, at best, appealing to the fringe.
