Are You Keeping Up with the Congressman?

I swear every day it gets harder and harder to keep up with all that there is to report on and to think through when it comes to a Kucinich campaign. I try to keep up and that is what I am supposed to be doing and I am having trouble doing that.
My recent post on the Huffington Post got a number of people excited that Dennis' campaign is both not getting the coverage it should while at the same time we are all so greedy that whenever something does appear, there is a cry for more and a cry to each other that finally someone is talking about him. I feel honored, honestly, to be in the position of being one of those with the ability to write about him.
The writing itself is difficult at times. Waking up each day to write about the campaign or where he has been or what he has said about something is not that easy. There is a certain lag time that may creep in to having to digest what has been said.
Take the Iran issue. There he was first thing the other morning, as soon as the report was made public, he had a response. His response, like most of his responses, had a lot of clarity to it. But if you go back a few days before that NIE came out, what was he saying? That there was no reason to go to war with Iran because there were no nuclear missiles coming at us. We are not a nation that should be engaged in pre-emptive war. That is not allowed. That is why he is trying to impeach the vice-president and then the president.
Let's all think this through. Whether that NIE had come out or not, Kucinich would have been saying exactly what he has been saying and saying it to the students in New Hampshire and saying it on national television, saying it on Kucinichtv.com and elsewhere. In fact, wherever they do allow him to speak.
And speaking of allowing him to speak. Did you see the clip from the Brown and Black Debate for the Iowa caucus where he asked himself a question? If that was not the purest form of Kucinich humor. Straight from the midwest with lots of dignity but a good laugh too because he did actually get to be asked a question he thought was important and to answer it as well and then, being polite, he thanked himself. Even Hillary found the formatting of it funny. Though did she find it funny that the audience went nuts over what he had to say?
That is the thing about listening to him speak. The audience loves him. Give him five minutes or five seconds and he is going to get everyone's attention and they love him.
That also says a lot about someone getting no attention and yet being the darling of so many progressives who know just what Dennis Kucinich stands for and if they are hearing him for the first time, then they are aware of hearing someone speak to them about the issues they care about too, that are about who they are and what their needs are.
More catching up to do.
