Is it just me, or Kucinich

was the DU darling until he endorsed Obama, and now he's some sort of pariah?

1. The Ron Paul consideration for VP started it, voting against SCHIP probably didn't help

And it isn't like he is running an effective campaign.

4. And voting for that Christianity Rules! legislation

probably lost some people too. I think DUers started to realize that he has crappy votes/ crappy ideas just like all the other candidates.

3. I think the reaction would have been the same no matter whom he endorsed.

Those who have spoken out and worked for him were bound to feel betrayed by his abandoning ship before the first poll was taken.

6. You bet

I worked with an older guy who had a stroke he was working so hard on this campaign. I'm really angry because I knew people who worked hard and believed in it. It's nothing against Obama. Actually I don't know that much about Obama. I've been concentrating on Kucinich. So it would take some work to convince me that all those hours I spent out in the cold collecting petition signatures should benefit a guy I don't know that much about.

5. I think that for some, it was a hope that Dennis by some miracle could..

maybe pull this thing off of wining this election. I know for myself that I find it a much less likely hood and have moved to a candidate that can actually win the election...
