SF Examiner looks favorably upon Kucinich

Interesting how a skilled writer can use word connotations and sentence structure to persuade.....
Let's look at this story from the major newspaper San Francisco Examiner:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

SAN FRANCISCO -- Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich, a progressive candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, brought his "peace and prosperity" campaign here Monday, the 25th anniversary of his decision as mayor to save public power in Cleveland. ....Kucinich, who the media has relegated to the bottom tier of candidates, attacks that image with vigor. At a campaign fundraiser and forum with author Alice Walker and a number of community activists, Kucinich said, the ABCs of democracy mean not allowing ABC TV to pick the next president.
>>>>>>>>>>

Notice the strongly positive phrases that are used to immediately characterize the subject ("progressive", "vigor").

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
....

His touchy-feely oratory contrasts sharply to the harsher Howard Dean, the leading populist Democratic candidate, who Kucinich supporters describe as "centrist" -- and not in a complimentary manner.

....


A lot of us haven't campaigned since Kennedy," said Jennifer Reese, a Far Northern California coordinator who'd brought five others from Mt. Shasta to meet Kucinich at the nighttime event at the Unitarian Universalist Church....

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Kennedy has now been invoked.....


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Kucinich, the oldest of seven children of a truck driver and a housewife, is now having to work to differentiate himself from Dean, who the media terms as liberal but many leftist activists reject. He said he knows about working class issues and the pain of war, because that's the life he's lived. ,/b]

Strong, favorable closing....

Kucinich 2004!

...in other media outlets. And if so, we should see a bump in the polls. Crossing fingers....

Just brainstorming..... would it be of any help to send the article to local media?

shove it under the noses of editors? :)

Kanary, who has fingers also crossed.....except when typing...:)

Kucinich 2004!

I hope my brother in SF reads it.

Nice to see positive messages about him instead of the usual disparaging adjectives. :)

"Reese said many in her circles are switching from the Green Party to Democrat to support Kucinich."

Kucinich has a plan for America.
Dean has anger.
