I do not know why this

we have seen the last
of him?

This is the last straw that will break the carmels' back. Mrs Clinton will be history if Denis supporters take Obama as second choice again with independents Obama lovers.

So the DMR poll puts Obama 7 pts ahead.

Add another 1% from Dennis Kucinich.

Obama is now 8% ahead in Iowa, double the margin of error.

Now THAT is what I call MOMENTUM, just at the right time.

Wow. And recall, Biden has swiped both Edwards and Clinton in the last two days. I see Biden throwing his votes towards Obama by Thursday afternoon.

ABC, why haven't you reported on Ralph Nadar's endorsement of John Edwards today? Nobody wants to endorse Hillary Clinton.

Kucinich's request to have his supporters switch to Obama in case he doesn't get the 15% needed is surely a sign of a LOSER. He should just be declared a nuisance candidate. I don't understand why the people of Iowa can't make up their minds on who to caucus for, they are either just gullible or plain dumd stupid.

Dennis Kucinich runs for office because we need change in America. It isn't just about winning an election. It is about having the progressive side of the Democratic Party represented and their voices heard. Kucinich supporters can be proud of their choice. Kucinich was right about the Iraq War and is correct about the need for real universal healthcare, for examples.

In the 2004 primaries, Kucinich received 16% of the vote in Maine, 27% of the vote in Hawaii, 17% of the vote in Minnesota, 10% of the vote in Kansas, 26% of the vote in Alaska, 17% of the vote in Oregon, almost 10% of the vote in Ohio, and 10% of the vote in Montana. In those 8 states alone, 1-3 out of 10 people chose Kucinich for President. He's likely to do better in other states other than Iowa.

Those stats show that Dennis is not a loser or a nuisance, but someone who has garnered a strong support from many Americans. Kucinich has won many elections to Congress over the year, proving he is not a loser, but a proven winning representative of the people.

I think it was very honorable of Kucinich to support Obama in areas where he will not get the 15% needed.

Kucinich Rocks!

It is sad indeed to see Kucinich display such pettiness when feeling slighted. One would have thought he would urge his supporters to back the candidate whose positions are most closely aligned with his own, if for no other reason than that it is best for the country. Since Day One of this campaign, John Edwards has clearly called for major change. And rather than just talking about it as others have done, he has had the courage to put forth ideas, programs, and a vision for America that puts the people before corporate greed. Obama has consistently tried to ameliorate and placate big business while "talking ever so prettily" about being the "candidate of change." I'm ashamed of Kucinich. He has shown himself to be petty and grudging.

The best hope for the dems to win is to get back to the true liberal roots.All dems will rally around the liberal flag and turn out in mass numbers to defeat the republicans. The best flag bearers of this democratic ideology is Obama and Kucinich. I am very glad that Kucinich is throwing his lot with Obama. Obama and Kucinich will be a winning combination.

Obama is going to pull off a massive upset in Iowa and staff on the ground indicate that he is going to pull in 50 percent of votes.He will clinch his nomination with another massive victory in NH.Kucinich has endorsed the Obama bandwagon which is going to leave the others sprawling in the dust. The best hope for Edwards is to endorse Obama and settle for a VP or a senor administration spot.Edwards is a smart guy and he will see the light after the first two primaries. I fully expect him to endorse Obama after Iowa and perhaps NH. After Iowa you will see all the candidates endorsing Obama in his fight with Clinton. Hillary fill fight a lonely battle with just Bill by her side.For democrats the Clinton administration was a serious blot which made all their lives worse. No democrat in his or her right mind will vote for Hillary. No more Clintons is the slogan for the party.

You said it all Nathan, thank you.

So Kucinich is giving his votes to Obama .. so does he really expect his Left-Wing Liberals to vote for the Republican's favorite Democrat, Obama? I don't think so.

Hillary is going to win for she is the best candidate that either party has to offer.

Awesome! Kuch is my fave on the issues, as he is correct about the big 3 issues - 1) the war: leave immediately and pay reparations, 2) health-care: single payer and 3) the Constitution; impeachment. I am very glad to see him throw his support to my 2nd fave, Obama.

People confuse Obama's outreach to indie and Repub. voters and take it as attempts to mollify the GOP luminaries, which is just not the case at all. Obama is super-progressive and forward-thinking, but he doesn't want to get into office and act like the repubs did and exclude / thumb his nose at half the country. which is, of course, good and part of the reason for his popularity.

Thank Kucinich for his wise decision.

Obama represents a new leadership for a new direction.

I don't know where Nathan and some of these others were in the 1990's, but appears they weren't voting or paying a lot off attention...The Clintons have worked their hearts and buns off for more of their years than any of the other candidates. This country was in the best shape economically, fiscally, and most ways in 2000 than it had been since long before Franklin Roosevelt saved us from the Republican tentacles of Herbert Hoover.

Most Democrats I know still respect and admire Bill Clinton. So please don't suggest or imply that the Clintons ruined our lives. The only person who has ruined our country lately has been G.W. Bush.

Obama is a progressive, but he doesn't want to vilify republicans. He wants to find common ground with them and consider their remarks if serious and reasonable.

However, Obama is a unifying pragmatist, he knows there are fabrics of our society which cannot be changed, such as the role of Christianity in most American households. He just wants to bring about the best for all people and he is also inspirational. But also keep in mind, he ain't no fool and he is quick to smack down haters.

Okay, frankly, this scares me. As a moderate democrat, a Kuchinich endorsement makes me more likely NOT to vote for Obama. I think democrats better be EXTREMELY careful here. Far left liberals and liberal voting records (especially when it comes to foreign affairs) do not win national elections. Better go with a moderate. Otherwise, the republicans will win again. Mark my words.

What an interesting choice. Did he really do this because of overhearing the Clinton/Edwards discussion? I say that because John Edwards seems to be more for change than Obama. Senator Obama has come off his pledge to not have ex-federal lobbyists in his administration and also still offers big corporations a "seat at the table" when enacting legislation. Why do companies get to help write laws for America? They serve their own interests (of making money) before the good of the people.
