Not sure I understand. Do you want people to ITEMIZE why they think Kucinich can't win? I think people are using 'can't win' as shorthand for the various reasons they feel that a Kucinich run is doomed to failure. And I don't necessarily feel like it denigrates people who hold positions similar to Kucinich's to say that he is a Presidential non-starter. The problem with the Presidency is that it is, ultimately, a popularity contest. I have a huge amount of respect for Dennis Kucinich's courage in standing up for what he believes, no matter how well recieved the beliefs sometimes are. But he is generally felt to lack charisma. And he's short. No matter how ridiculous I think it is for someone's height, hair and 'friendliness' to be a factor in determining the leader of the free world; the fact is, they are. Whether we like it or not.
