Today Dennis Kucinich started his campaign. Those who followed his campaign in 2004 know he believes his role is put issues in the public arena and that he should be able to be elected or rejected on issues, not personality. He continued his run right up to the convention, long after the nominee was well known. He consistently undermines his own success rate in Congress by putting forward "pure" bills based on issues that his colleagues don't like and won't touch.
Is he crazy? Is he naive? Has his golden opportunity to launch a campaign in which the metaissue of whether ideas alone should be the only criterion we use to elect a President finally come?
