I support Dennis Kucinich at this point in the election race.  I voted for him in the last primaries, and I intend to in this election as well. He is pragmatic, smart, reasonable, and logical.  He is forward and open in both speaking and thinking.  He has plans for domestic and foreign policy that will repair damage done during the current administration.  While I am still open to hearing out other candidates, it would take quite a change for any one of them to attain the same level of inspirational leadership qualities that I find with Kucinich.

I’m really glad he’s been getting more attention in the media lately. Some of the attention has been a sort of meta-acknowledgement, where broadcasters discuss unique or interesting attributes of Dennis, rather than actually discussing his politics. I won’t go through listing them in detail, but they have in the past included: Elizabeth, height, veganism, and various pocket-sized items. I am okay with this.

This situation strongly equates in my mind to a question that I often receive: “what do you think about people that are vegetarian for [any of many non-ethical reasons to be veg goes here]?” While I wish there were more activist vegetarians out there, a vegetarian that doesn’t eat meat for nutritional reasons (for example) is eating no animals in the same capacity as an ethics-based vegetarian. With Kucinich, I believe any public discussion of him (even about his interesting background) will aid his campaign. Going one step further, a vote for Kucinich because he’s the only candidate that voted 100% against this war, is the same as a vote for Kucinich because he’s the candidate that has an appropriate plan for healthcare, human rights, and foreign policy.
