Russ Feingold and Dennis Kucinich are the obvious choices, but the party leaders won't let Kerry make such a smart pick.

Everyone listed in this poll other than Edwards is either mighty bad or is basically a nobody.

You do know that Kucinich was rejected by the Democratic primaries as too extreme?  Mainstream America would be shocked.

Kucinich's views are closer to those of the average American than any of the other well-known contenders for the Democratic nomination.

He's one political figure who everybody I know speaks highly of.

Unless he does something astoundingly dumb, Kerry will win Wisconsin anyway. Feingold helps him in other states because of civil liberties issues,

Yet what did Kucinich get slaughtered in the primaries?

Because he had no money.

If he can't win Wisconsin then he might as well just forget the whole election.

I saw a poll that said Vilsack doesn't even help him in Iowa, since he's so obscure.

Yes, the whining about video games and music is exactly the type of thing that scares off voters and causes them to support a third party instead.

That sort of thing appeals mostly to people who wouldn't in a million years vote Democratic anyway.

Hillary Clinton is just too right-wing (just like Bill Clinton was).
