Hey Iowa, Only One Candidate Links Education with War Spending...

Voters know better. In the December 2007 Gallup poll, respondents listed the War in Iraq as the most important issue determining Americans' choice of president in 2008. It's worth noting that Kucinich is the only Democratic Presidential candidate who voted against the Iraq war authorization in 2002 and every war-funding measure since then.

He also is the only Democratic Presidential candidate directly linking war spending to education funding.

The Des Moines Register (which used a ridiculous technicality to exclude Kucinich from their presidential debates) is predicting that first-time voters could determine the winner of Thursday's Iowa Democratic caucus.

Obama is aiming for younger votes.

Clinton is targeting women.

Both demographic groups should take another look at Kucinich, and his plan to put the nation's youth in college, not in Baghdad.
