For all those who have written off Kucinich I suppose any thing written in his favor just seems like satire or snark. I have such a weird view of politics, I'm wondering how others look at the serioucness of running in the primaries and seeking delegates for the convention. When the other so-called 2nd tier" candidates have left the race, Kucinich will show his determination, sincerity, and seriousness by continuing on to the convention.  

Is this a factor at all in your equations of what makes a "serious" candidate?  I don't see any candidate who isn't willing to go the distance and finish every primary as a serious canidate and since I know Kucinich is the only candidate who has that level of determination I see him as the most serious candidate. But I assume some people would see that kind of determination as just "silly".

I'll vote for the longshot who hits the target 9 out of 10 rather than the shortshot who can't hit the bulls eye but 3 out of 10 tries.
