I believe that Kucinich is an honest and honorable guy who believes in what he speaks, but he is just too radical for me and it seems most of the country.
I agree with much of what he says; health care reform, repeal of the Patriot Act, campaign finance reform, and the like.
But I think he goes a bit too far in advocating protectionist trade policy and an isolationist foreign policy. (Just my opinion).
I think there are several less radical candidates (perhaps Dean or Kerry) who could achieve much of the good Kucinich would set out to accomplish while also better weathering opposition attacks against them (a la 'tax and spend', 'soft on defense' rhetoric).
