"They want Kucinich gone for good."

He has been re-elected 5 times in his district and faces a tough battle. You are right, they want him gone.

At the same time, he was rejected by the American public. His opinions were well know, but not everyone agrees with him. I think his foreign policies and efforsts against the war scared off many people.   You and I might agree with 99 or 100% of his views, but there are reasons why most people did not want him for president.

I do agree, there is a lot that money and media do for a campaign. Yet with every "investment" that is made on Wall Street, nn investor is only going to back a product that works.   America rejected Kucinich for president.
