Sure, I'll say this- I think Kucinich is brilliant and at some point in my life I've voted for some of the 'nuts on the west coast'. Here's the deal- we need a Pelosi. She is bulletproof. No republican will EVER win her seat. The Mass. mess not withstanding, you have to live in Nor. Cal. understand what I mean. Hell, I was the most conservative guy in Berkeley. They think of her as main streem.
So she can sling the shit with the ass holes on the right. We havent had a voice of her caliber for the left since Tip O'Neil. Damn I liked old Tip. She doen'st have to worry about being elected so she has no need to back down. And say what you will about Reid, she has gone into that hell hole and gotten shit done.
Okay, back to Kucinich- he's brilliant (and his wife is hot). If you haven't, you should read his "Prayer for America".

His role is to define the left- and he does it well. Not as a radical, but as a thoughtful guy with very, very progressive ideas. What he would do if made King is probably not what most Democrats would agree to. But he shows what the outside looks like and helps define an Obama as a centrist.
