Because his views are the same as hillary's. Pro NAFTA, Pro residual Troops in Iraq, Pro War on Drugs etc. Im not saying he would be a terrible president or anything like that, and him winning would be symbolic in terms of a black man getting into office, but people are acting like the dude is this great agent of change when according to his own views hes not. Meanwhile you got edwards and Kucinich who would end the war on drugs and NAFTA and would bring all troops out of Iraq, this is not status quo.
Peace,
You appear to be drinking the Kool Aid on Edwards and Iraq. Edwards, like a few other Monday Morning Quarterbacking libs, has admitted in The Washington Post that it was a mistake to vote for the war but he certainly wasn't one of the millions of people in the US and abroad who demanded the military supply proof of Iraq's WMDs. The fact of the matter is he voted with a mob and now that we've been caught up in a cluster fuck for a few years he's suddenly (and conveniently) war weary. He sure as hell was "status quo" then - when it actually MATTERED. Why would you believe a person who showed no conviction when his vote counted?
Kucinich is a loon who's publicly expressed belief in alien visitation. Doesn't that bother you? Well, perhaps not because quackery isn't status quo either.
