#1 We have a department of Peace. Sec'ty Rumsfeld runs it well, when they let him

#2 kucinich is marginal. Kerry may hope he draws off leftie support from Dean, just as Gephardt, Edwards and Leiberman hope Dean draws off support from Kerry.

#3 Perhaps surprising (to some), I attend a "New Age" church. I can report confidently that Kucinich doesn't have ALL the "new age" vote tied up.

#4 Oh please please please, let Kucinich or Dean be the top of the Demo ticket!

The huge loss this ticket would end up with will make the McGovern and Dukakis losses look like they were down to the wire, by comparison.

#6 He's starting to sound like Jerry Brown.

#7 Raj, Picard is a Frenchman played by an Englishman. Either way he's not eligable under US election laws.

#8 Now that the Cuyahoga River won't burn anymore, ol' Dennis is advocating something else to smoke.

#9 Kucinich is marginal only because most Dems are pragmatic, and put winning the election above ideology. Actually, he represents the views of the new Dem. core fairly well; in affluent Democratic-voting suburbs (say, Marin County, CA), his views are absolutely mainstream. As a lifelong Democrat -- until this year -- I hope he is nominated, and then gets some 20% of the vote. The liberal Dems. need to realize how out-moded their ideology has become -- they need some political shock and awe. Maybe then they could restore their party. But until that happens, they have lost voters like me.

#10 NO sorry, i doubt theres any poll that shows kucinich's views mainstream of self-identified dems or registered dems. You can define core any way you want - i doubt your statement applies particularly well to donors, campaign volunteers,etc. And Marin County is hardly representative of most affluent Dem areas. The dems were shocked and awed years ago.

#11 I think Kucinich will bow out of the race. After Monmdale got slaughtered, I don't see the Dems putting up a candidate this easy to defeat. Again.

#12 Yank - I know, but I was running with the goof on those 'Picard - Riker '96' bumper stickers I saw years ago.

#13 He spoke about how the Eagle Nebula, a star-forming region that is 7,000 light years from Earth, reminds him of the relationship between stardust and the human spirit.

Spokesmen for the Eagle Nebula hastened to distance it from Kucinich's remarks. "The nebula is just a nebula," said Ann Astronomer, a close confidant of the gas cloud. "It's very involved in its work in the creation of stars, and has no wish to get involved in the politics of any one planet, especially one so distant."

Privately, many observers said the nebula, known as M16 to its friends, was amused that hokey speeches along the lines of "we are all stardust" could gain political traction. "This observation is good for provoking a quick frisson of wonder," reported one scientist, who wished to remain anonymous, "but it's hardly a basis for policy. The Gzh'nathortn!ns were gibbering about this 1.5 million years ago. Didn't do them any good."
