Kucinich, Democrat

Re “Dean Out Front by 21 Points in N.H., Poll Finds,” Aug. 28: If the folks in New Hampshire really wanted “a-take-no-prisoners Democrat even if that candidate seemed unlikely to defeat President Bush,” they would be supporting Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), who makes former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean look a bit like “Bush lite” in comparison. Too bad more people (and more of the press) are not paying enough attention to a man who argues for substantial reform in all the areas this country needs it: defense, corporate malfeasance, universal health care and much more. The only Democrat is really Kucinich.
