Kucinich is saying things his party leaders don't dare, and he is willing to rock the boat and challenge our country's status quo in a way party insiders never, ever will.

... If we had a vote in my state -- we don't -- there's a good chance I'd vote for him. I don't agree with all of his ideas, but that's why I would choose him. He has clear ideas, and as such I don't need to like 'em all -- just more of them than anyone else running.
The success of Howard Dean's candidacy would not be possible without Kucinich and Sharpton at his shoulder, providing the more 'extreme' cover that gives his statements context. Their continued presence in the race ensures that ideas like getting U.S. troops out of Iraq, or prioritizing racial justice, aren't forgotten by candidates otherwise reluctant to go there. There are plenty of reasons to support Dennis Kucinich
