But then, real change scares the young soul population of this land. They much prefer living in the past, doing what's already been done before (and didn't work), being addicted to stress hormones and not realizing it, feeding those hormones every morning while downing caffein and sugar, projecting that stuff on each other while they compete with everyone on their way to a job that they hate, coming home in the evening, and watching various forms of violence on tv while drugging themselves silly with alcohol and whatever else is convenient .

We need to seriously look at what works in more civilized nations ( some European nations, for example), and adopt those, instead of relying on a corrupt system, morally bankrupt and sold out to "special interests".

We need more than a "2-party system"- and it needs to not be bankrolled by corporate greed.

After Bush "won" the first time (lost the popular vote)- I heard no one commenting on whether it was time to abolish the Electoral College or not- pity, that was a definite warning flag.

America's in denial of how bad things have gotten. Maybe it's a good thing- maybe things have to get worse before they get better.

Quesiton is- how much worse?

Mr. Kucinich, good luck with your congressional race, and know you will be sorely missed by those of us who believe the presidential race, and indeed the country, needs the message you bring.

I've heard that he has said he will not endorse another candidate. I actually prefer it that way - make the voters use their brains, and not be led like sheep in one direction or another. I was actually a little disappointed he endorsed anyone as second choice in Iowa, regardless of who it was.

Lots of unviable candidates. As an Iowan and precinct captain, I will tell you that there is a lot of horse trading going on during the melee that is caucusing.

I was disappointed that Kucinich told his supporters to back Obama, because Edwards is actually more progressive than Obama. Besides, Obama didn't need the supporters – he bussed in plenty from across the border to get his numbers in Iowa.

Again, as precinct captain, I had been door to door in my ward and I knew who lived there. The number of "new" residents who showed up on caucus night was not exciting; it was appalling. They were plants, plain and simple.

FWIW, Kucinich had one (as in singular) campaign staffer on the payroll to cover his campaign efforts in Iowa. He did not take the campaign seriously and his numbers reflect that.

I think he is a fine person, and I am glad that his opinions and policies helped shape the debate, but I'm not sorry to see him go. Please do the honorable thing and endorse Edwards, Rep. Kucinich.

Got news for ya Dennis...they couldn't have voted if they were, cuz they'd be ILLEGAL aliens.

We need a new party, made up of Neo-Democrats, progressives, independents, and yes, some republicans. We need to make a party that focuses on the people, all the people, of America. We need a party that will focus on smart Economic policies, a party that realizes that bipartisanship and transparency creates the best results in Washington. A party that realizes that when the American people are doing well, then the country is doing well.

More than everything else, we need to throw out these aging political families that have dominated Washington for the past 35 years. We need a new political party!!!!!!

WE NEED A NEW POLITICAL PARTY!!!

SEND HER AND ALL OTHER POLITICIANS LIKE HER A STRONG MESSAGE. WE DO NOT SUPPORT YOU!!!!

BOYCOTT HILLARY CLINTON. SPREAD THE WORD EVERYWHERE!!!

Get rid of the dumb caucus idea, too.
And what's with this country STILL clinging to the Electoral College?

John Edwards'08. The ONLY choice to beat the Republicans.

Hillary

Hillary

Hillary

Oh well, guess we'll still have plenty of catfights between Obama and Hillary to watch, and more of Edwards whining about being ignored. So much for progress.

As a candidate for Congress he can point to nothing which he has done to save jobs, improve education or anything else in his congressional district.

Dennis played the victim when he was denied access to Presidential debates. What the rest of the country didn't see was that in the last two congressional campaigns Kucinich refused to debate his opponent, effectively doing to her what the networks did to him. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Now Dennis knows he can't hide so he better not run.

If he would have done his job in congress rather than feed his ego he'd have some job security. Now it might be HASTA LA VISTA DENNIS!!!

The next obvious choice for Kucinich supporters is John Edwards. Edwards knows that the big money and the lobbiests that Obama and Clinton have taken donations from have hurt middle and lower class families.

Edwards has also promised to end U.S. combat operations in Iraq during his first term.

Edwards for President in '08!

I'm voting for Obama but I think Kucinich is a neat guy. I wish the media (that means you CNN) had allowed us to hear more from him rather than make the choices for him. Democracy means all voices be heard and considered viable until the election or their campaign determines they are not.

Thank you Dennis for being a light of truth, kindness, and fundamental human decency.

Go, JOHN EDWARDS!
Another guy fighting against the special interests and also a "Champion of the People".

Both from humble backgrounds, who rose above to become what all of us would like to be.

Dennis' supporters, please back John Edwards.
