Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (Ohio), who drew as large and active a crowd as many of his rivals, offered frustrated Floridians the clearest alternative to Bush. Kucinich said he would pull troops out of Iraq, create a federal department of peace and dramatically expand the government to cover more health care and education needs.

Kucinich called for a country interested in preserving world peace.

“We need a president who will work with America to stand up with the world community,” he said. Should Kucinich become president, he said he would sign such international treaties as the Chemical Weapons Ban and Kyoto Treaty.

"In 2004, we will vote in such numbers that not even Jeb Bush will be able to fix it," said Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich.

Kucinich and Clark also had a major presence, though it was unclear whether the effort would yield lasting benefits to any of the campaigns
