Judge Grants Kucinich Entry to NV Debate
From the AP:
A Nevada judge said Monday that Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich must be included in Tuesday’s candidates’ debate in Nevada.
Senior Clark County District Court Judge Charles Thompson said if Kucinich is excluded, he’ll issue an injunction stopping the televised debate.
The judge sided with a lawyer for the Ohio congressman, who says debate host MSNBC at first invited Kucinich to take part and then told him last week he couldn’t.
A lawyer for the network said MSNBC decided to go with the top three candidates after the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries.
The judge called it a matter of fairness and said Nevada voters will benefit if they hear from more than just Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards.
The cable network and the Democratic Party are calling the 9 p.m. EST debate a chance to hear issues from Nevada’s minority communities. Tim Russert and Brian Williams are moderating.
I don’t agree with the man’s politics, but I admire his effort. Good for him, he should be allowed to participate.

I’m a paleo-con, but I like Kucinich’s guts. He puts life into the democratic debate much as Gravel did. The rest of the democrats are not “red meat” warmongers like every republican is except paul, but “hidden agenda” warmongers.
I tend to throw in with the “warmongers” so I have little in common with Kucinich.
However, what I appreciate and rather admire about him is that I always know where he stands. He really is a true believer unlike phony people like John Edwards.
Kucinich always has the same point of view and he vigorously defends it. I have a lot of respect for a person like that.
