46. If the media wasnt agenda driven, Kucinich would have more support.
He hasn't got the advertising that the main stream candidates have received on national television. I think people believe its that people don't support him when thats not the problem. If you take two stores providing the same kind of product, one gets national advertising non stop and the other gets next to nothing because they don't have the backing of wealth and corporations, which one is going to dominate in sales? It doesn't matter if the store with no advertising is better or not, if no one knows about them, they cant compete.

That is what is happening to Dennis Kucinich, there is a reason the media is ignoring him and his issues and messages that he supports, its not good for the wealthy and corporations, he is for the people.

Most consumers when told about a better product for their dollar, they will educate themselves on it and if its better, buy it. I cant imagine a consumer refusing to buy it because its a smaller company and its MOST LIKELY going to go out of business? Wouldnt the consumer purchase the better product in hopes that it will stay around and if it doesnt, THEN go and buy the other product that will still be available. For some reason with politics, most wont even educate themselves on that candidate without the advertising and when they do, they say he MOST LIKELY wont win so I'm not wasting my time?

If everyone that thinks Dennis Kucinich has some better ideas than the main stream candidates, would vote for him in the primaries, he would have a chance. If he then didnt win, we still have a democrat that won the majority that would represent us.
