Dennis Kucinich endorses Kerry-Edwards ticket
Geez, I thought Dennis had this thing all sewn up, and then this happens!! Yes, indeed I was a strong Kucinich supporter and I think he best represents my values and my ideals, including calling for an end to bad global trade policy, the exclusion of the little guy from getting a fair shake, and seeking to implement a national universal healthcare system and a Department of Peace. Nevertheless, he's endorsed Kerry as the best possible choice to advance those goals.
Kucinich called for unity among the left in this election, saying of his endorsee:

John Kerry is a good friend and a decent man. He has a lifelong commitment of honorable service to our nation as a military officer and as a Senator. He can be trusted with power. He will help heal America. He has outstanding intellectual gifts he will bring to the White House and to world affairs. I am proud to stand here to say I will do everything possible to make John Kerry the next President of the United States.
OK, so the dream is dead. Now let's make sure that Kerry wins in November and then hold his Brahmin feet to the fire until he helps veer this country back to more sensible priorities that actually work for all of us.
FYI- When running SpellCheck the primary alternative for Kucinich is 'juiciness'. I kinda like that.
