Calling all Americans

So, what's wrong with Dennis Kucinich then?

Except, of course, that he's too good to be elected in the US.

Well, yes, and that's the point, for me at least.

I'd love to vote/promote for someone who I like, yet I am kind of a Centrist, and also know that snowball's chance in hell is a point against him, and against me for him, sadly. Call me cheap and easy, but I've spent enough time around fringe politics to know how much of an echo chamber of horrors working such campaigns can be (see: Nader, Ralph).

Indeed, one of the reasons I enjoy supporting Obama is the mix of people doing it, the energy they're bringing, and the encouragement (not just tolerance) of grassroots involvement.
