Kucinich's a wiener. If Willie wants to endorse him, fine. But Kucinich reminds me a lot of Jimmy Carter. For example, Kucinich's "plan" to create a Department of Peace reminds me of how Carter made the Department of Education. This whole stupid idea that creating giovernment bureaucracies will somehow solve social problems. Has education gotten better in the US since this useless cabinet position was created? The reading rates have remained basically flay, but the DOE's budget keeps getting bigger and bigger.
Like Carter, I think Kucinich would be too idealistic and principled to get the practical nitty gritty business of government done. Congress hada really tough time doing business with Carter because he came off on his high horse condemning them for being in the pockets of special interests. Carter just couldn't accept that's how things work in America. Like Carter, Kucinich looks at things as they SHOULD be, not accepting how they ARE.
That's very appealling to a segment of the population that doesn't know much about government or how it works. People like, say, Willie Nelson.
