A fairly reprsentative\u00c2\u00a0and typical quote from Dennis Kucinich from 2004:\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ralph Nader’s candidacy proves why the Democrats need me to win the White House. Because I’m the one that can attract Greens, natural law party members, Libertarians and reform party members, and create this great united effort to take back the White House not just for the Democrats, but for the American people.<\/i><\/p>\n
Add “blue collar Reagan Democrats” to the mix in some quotes, perhaps even in this one in an earlier part of the interview.\u00c2\u00a0 There’s a certain unreality to the man, which showed itself again in explaining how he was going to win the nomination, even as Kerry was racking up delegates, which was the Nominating Convention would be dead-locked and the War in Iraq would be the defining issue which would throw Kucinich the nomination.\u00c2\u00a0 Well, whatever keeps one and one’s supporters motivated, I suppose.<\/p>\n
