While it’s sadly too late to do him any good, my keen radar has detected a huge Dennis Kucinich groundswell. First, Christopher Hitchens lauds him in Slate:
Dennis Kucinich is the sort of guy who we need in politics. He thinks long-term, and he doesn’t think that in the short or long term it pays to trade principles for compromises. That’s the attitude one wants in a president, of any party. This, however, is probably not the year for a man who basically believes in the downsizing of the United States.
Then Andrew Sullivan and Donnie Hall offer ringing endorsements. Sully:
My long take is that I’d support Kucinich over Clark if I had to. Clark is simply too crazy to be president of the U.S.
Donnie: “Ditto.”
I’m registered to vote in Virginia, which has its primary tomorrow. My impulse had been to vote for Al Sharpton. Now, I’m seriously considering Kucinich.
