    i understand your theorizations - but you are essentially saying that every other candidate believes there may be fraud in the voting process but that they just don't care ... because they don't want to suffer any potential bounce back ...

    the voting process is not some convuluted system - it's really quite simple to do and ensure validity - democracies have been doing it for decades ... the system today has been compromised and no one seems to care except people like kucinich ... that is truly sad ...


    i don't think it has anything to do with not caring. That's my point. i'm pretty sure Hillary would care if she lost and thought she may have been cheated. Obama, i'm sure cares, but is not in a position to really throw a fit about it. Kucinich, on the other hand, is in the perfect position to chalenge it on the grounds of maintaining integrity. He has nothing to gain or lose. i've already said i respect kucinch for his stance on this issue. Its costing him some money and its obvious he is doing it for the right reasons. Now were Kucinich in Obama's place, i doubt he would do it.

    well ... that's my point ... political strategy taking precedence over the legitimacy of your democracy ...

    That's a good point about Obama. He can't complain about it or he gets labled as a whiner (Sore Loserman, you may recall). Obama's kind of stuck just doing his best and hoping cheating does not occur.

    And yes, good for Kucinich. He knows he cannot win. It's his job to remind these others about some other issues and, in this case, the integrity of the contest.
    well taht totally sucks seeing as Gore actually won 2000 in reality.
