I'm so glad you posted this! If we were alert, the only candidate I would vote for is being totally ignored. He's Dennis Kucinich! Aha! I'll bet you all thought I was in Obama's pocket, huh? He's just a diversion and beginning to sound shrill, like ALL the rest! I have NO trust in Hilary! She's an "in the box" politician, just like her husband!
