It's hardly his persona that gets Kucinich noticed. People don't find his persona particularly interesting. It's what he does as a congressman that gets him noticed. It's how he does his job, and what he has to say about the issues that get him noticed, to the extent that he does get noticed (which ain't much, relatively speaking).

And anyone who says that there are a lot of other people who have the same positions on issues as Kucinich is showing a complete ignorance of his positions on issues.

I think "I stand corrected" would be an appropriate response for someone else to make right about now, and then the thread can get back to its real subject.
