AR-News: (US)Forget Nader, Hug Kucinich

[Animalconcerns]

This year there is one presidential candidate who is carrying on the Nader
mantle with honor and respect. He deserves Nader's name more than Nader
does. That candidate is Dennis Kucinich.

Dennis Kucinich has steadfastly articulated his hopes and dreams for the
country, without regard for the immediate political viability of his
ideas. What's wrong with a vegan presidential candidate who eats miso and
oat groats for breakfast? Nothing. In fact it's a refreshing change from
President Bush, who probably thinks tofu is something you get from walking
around barefoot in the gym. Kucinich marches to his own drum. He's the
only presidential candidate with an entire web page dedicated to polka,
bowling and kielbasa. I bet that even Howard Dean and Dick Gephardt would
agree that the Democratic Party would be better off with more bowling and
polka.

Kucinich has conducted his campaign like the organizer Nader once was.
>From house parties to homemade signs, Kucinich has asked his supporters to
reach out to their communities and have a conversation about values. He
has brought new activists into the political fold. He has not attacked the
other candidates; he has only pointed out his differences with them. He
has not threatened to start a new party or to trash the nominee. 
...
So hug a Kucinich supporter if you meet one. Allow yourself to dream a
bit. Eat some tofu. You'll be making the Democratic Party stronger.
