Kucinich has an advantage over many of the Democratic candidates because he doesn't have to talk about bills he will support. He can talk about what he supports now because he's been taking action based on his beliefs for years now.
And unlike people like Obama or Clinton, Kucinich's bills have meat to them and address issues of popular importance right now like: health care, Iraq, nuclear weapons, agriculture, global warming, space warfare, etc.
Obama or Clinton may bring bipartisanship to America, but the stances being taken to create that bipartisanship caters to the neoconservatives in the Republican party and hands a victory to the Bush administration instead of the American people by ensuring that all that has gone wrong under Bush be continued by a Democrat instead of a Republican in 2008 thereby allowing for no panicking to occur on the Right if the party cannot rebound from Bush's lack of popularity.
Kucinich spoke these words earlier this summer:
I'm kind of the Seabiscuit of this campaign. And when I come from behind to win this race, people are going to say, no way are we going to run against this guy. ... Let me tell you, when I push through that agenda and establish a worker's White House, they're going to be there to say, 'No competition in 2012; we're ready for Kucinich for seven years, eight years.
Amen, brother. Americans, let's put one of our own in the White House.
