Rep. Dennis Kucinich Thows His Support Behind Sen. John Edwards for Iowa Caucus

MSNBC Live ^ | January 19, 2004 | Lester Holt

It's her. We need to find a link between Mrs. Edwards and Hillary.

I'll just bet that link between the two stretches back to the 80's

[dansangel]

We're *not* calling my husband's brother--who showed up at the family Christmas dinner wearing a Kucinich t-shirt---

Oh my....that was really "in-your-face" and something I'm sure my daughter (I love her to death, I really do) would do to get my BP up.

I plan on calling this evening and will report back. She told me last week she would give her support to Dean when I made the comment "Kucinich hasn't got a snowball's chance," but that may change. Dims are not notorious for loyalty.

The NYT now has this story with an added part of the Kucinich agreement:

Representative Dennis Kucinich of Ohio said today that he and Senator Edwards had reached an agreement specifying that if neither reached the 15 percent viability threshold for delegates, the supporters of both would unite behind the candidate with greater support.

Amusing.

[Howlin]

Well, let's call in the calvalry.......LOL.

Kcvl, we're trying to link John Edwards' wife to Hillary.

[cyncooper]

Dims are not notorious for loyalty.

Or principle.

NOT a slam at your daughter...just in general.

Does this mean we're down to SEVEN dwarves?

What? Grandfather Twilight is voting for Deadwards? Say it isn't so! lol.

[dansangel]

Oh, I understand and agree....completely.

There's a woman that lives downstairs from us who is a died-in-the-wool, bleeding-heart, man-hating liberal. Her filthy, unkempt Volvo is adorned with such treasures as, "Don't elect him in '04, either" and "Iraq Distracts," along with little dancing rainbow people, etc.

I have never wanted so desperately to get my hands on a '57 Chevy, pack the fenders with cement and replace the bumpers with solid oak 4x4s and just have an "accident" all over her vehicle - LOL!

[Mo1]

Well, let's call in the calvalry.......LOL.

Cool ... I've got a 3yr old with a nasty cold and is going out of her way to let me know just how miserable she feels .. groan

Happydogdesign is funny and insightful.

I first thought Moore's support was bout with some Hollywood quid pro quos, maybe financing for his films.

But maybe enticing Moore is easier than that...

[Grampa Dave]

Happy Dog Pizza wins Moore over everytime.:)

[Miss Marple]

I don't think all of Kucinich's supporters will go to Edwards. I bet half go to Dean.

And, I don't think Dean's supporters will support another candidate. They will be like the RFK supporters in 1968, and they will stay home or vote third party.

[alancarp]

Welcome!

So John Edwards, who ran his first ever campaign to become Senator in 1998, is now running for President -- and he's still got ZERO experience governing since he's been campaigning for President 2/3rds of the time he's supposed to have been sworn to represent North Carolina.

[george wythe]

A bloody primary in the Democratic side will tickle Rove to death.

Edwards in first place and Dean in fourth place... that would shake the NH dynamics and the SC game.

[Theodore R.]

McAuliffe/Clinton/DNC is for Clark. (McGovern I can't figure out.)

McGovern is a staunch admirer of the clintons. Bill ran the ill-fated McGovern campaign in TX in 1972. And Clark is the clinton stand-in.

[Hand em their arse]

All,

Rep. Kucinich of Ohio just said on MSNBC that if he hears from the early estimates this afternoon that he is not getting 15% that he will throw his Iowa support to US Senator John Edwards of North Carolina.


Tom Dasche was deeply, deeply saddened!!!
