Ultimately, I suspect Hillary has the momentum to go to the top, and none of the others do, but I have to say that I have changed from originally dismissing Kucinich as a sideline candidate to being really impressed that he has the cojones to do or say what no one else will.

I understand that one of the benefits of being a second-tier candidate is that you can say what you really want to say, understanding that you wouldn't get elected anyway, and so we need those, but all down the line Dennis has gone in the direction I think we should all go. Ultimately electable? I don't know, but I'm thinking I'd give him a shot in the primaries. My only concern is that he doesn't have the political machine he'll need to fight off the wolves once he gets to be the candidate.
