I thought Kucinich handled it with good grace, and humor - I wonder how much the Exeter, NH, reference went over people's heads.<BR/>I still wish he had had time to answer the rest of the question; I'd be most interested in hearing it.NickJoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04692930261848771802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10903320.post-581975849954444132007-11-01T18:34:00.000-03:002007-11-01T18:34:00.000-03:00Uh-oh -- we might have another "blog war" on our h...Uh-oh -- we might have another "blog war" on our hands!<BR/><BR/>Actually, I think your breakdown makes perfect sense within the parameters set by our two-party system. But, like Dustin, I think the system itself is beyond repair and begs reinvention.Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074004681516756703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10903320.post-71619692965776905562007-11-01T16:17:00.000-03:002007-11-01T16:17:00.000-03:00I agree that it was nice to see him answer in a wa...I agree that it was nice to see him answer in a way that didn't make him seem any kookier than most people already think he is.<BR/><BR/>What aggravates me about the clip is that it was thrown out there to embarrass him in the public eye, not to inform the voting public.<BR/><BR/>No one bothers to do things like this anymore, so call me crazy, but having read everyone's platform, Kucinich is almost certainly the least crazy, most down to Earth, most "presidential" in the true sense of the word, candidate out there. But, you're right, he'll never be President.<BR/><BR/>My political science degree and common sense tells me the system is broken, but, it's what we've got.Dustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05375111867777214371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10903320.post-46911686243037338012007-11-01T14:07:00.000-03:002007-11-01T14:07:00.000-03:00I agree with you Paul.

With all of the blog coverage on DK's experience/answer, it has provided a good opportunity to place calm, well-reasoned comments in the comments sections of plenty of newspapers and political blogs in response to mocking coverage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
