Like Biden, Kucinich is a man of ideas – but unlike Joe, he doesn’t connect them to his core Passion. They remain mental abstracts, and he remains a political lightweight. I blame his diet. American Politics is a blood sport. If you are going to play it with the big dogs you need lots of protein, and tofu just won’t cut it. The fact that I feel comfortable dismissing Kuchinich’s candidacy with such a cheap shot just proves my point. Many people I respect, respect Kuchinich enormously, but if there were a third tier of candidates, he would be in it.
