we should have started more than a year ago, when the democrats were looking for a candidate. they didn't pick the right one, im convinced of that. they picked a slightly taller bush.
dean wasn't perfect, but at least he was anti-war and anti-patriot act, unlike "business as usual" kerry.
Kucinich was an excellent candidate. politically the one i'm most aligned with.
the democratic party sold out on him, and immediately tried to marginalize him as "too liberal"
He's still also in a lot of debt from his campaign. kerry helped some of the others out financially (dean, edwards) when he was chosen as nominee, but pretty much handed dennis his head on a platter at the convention.
that's a sad story of how the democrats are treating the liberal and progressive base of their own party. why do you think i've been so bitter =)

I was too confident (me?!) in the power of my generation (them?!) and their perception (Americans?!).
We could easily become a lot of disenfranchized drunks.
