Uhh... didn't Kucinich blast Obama and Hillary for voting to fund the war "100% of the time"? But now he wants his supporters to back Obama in the caucus if it doesn't look like Kucinich is doing too well? And I thought Hillary was the only flip-flopper on the Democratic side.

Its more important for him for a anti war candidate to be nominated...

why?


Ron Paul

If he doesn't get 15%, the caucus-goers must pick a 2nd choice.

Ron Paul is not running as a Democrat.

Ron Paul

Obama isn't anti-war!

[Naraku]

Yeah, he should be calling for people to back Edwards, he's actually much closer to Kucinich on health care and Iraq.

[Antonius Stone]

kucinich is probably worrying about getting kicked out of the democratic party

Edwards is a liar. He voted for Iraq and for the Patriot Act.

i don't get it either.

kuci should tell people to back Paul.

He can't - this is specific for his supporters in the Iowa caucuses. In the Dem caucus, if your candidate doesn't have 15% support, you need to go with your 2nd choice.

Maybe if he drops out he could endorse Dr. Paul. I'm not sure if that would be a good thing or not for attracting mainstream Republicans, though.

nah any endorsements are good. Kucinich rocks the house, i really hope if he drops out he endorsed RP. Their ideologies are completely different but i think Kucinich can see whats important
