Ohio Democrat Representative Dennis Kucinich, despite recent improvement in many primary election polls, remains close to last place with four percent of expected Democrat voters backing the repeat candidate. Recent polls in Iowa posted at usaelectionpolls.com does not even show him as a blip on the radar, but he is carrying two percent in New Hampshire.
One of his complaints is that the top three candidates in both parties are the only ones that receive any media attention and being left off the stage at the recent Iowa debate, left him scratching for some recognition as a candidate. He found one of doing that, while reminding everyone about the need for voter reform by offering for sale the voting machines removed from Florida. Many of the machines are advertised as being complete with hanging chads that became a source of controversy in the 2000 presidential election.
Debate moderators and news organizations routinely ignore all the candidates they do not consider viable in order to conserve their resources. Kucinich claims it is a blatant attempt by the media to form public opinion with the organization's own thinking about which candidates should be in the race. Of the seven Democrats running in the primary race, Kucinich is tied for last place with Chris Dodd with one percent, according to a recent Strategic Vision poll.
Strategic Vision also shows Barack Obama ahead 33 percent to Hillary Clinton's 25 percent and John Edwards' 24 percent, but with eight percent of the anticipated Iowa Democrats still unsure the race is far from settled.
