Kucinich’s Candidates

Back in May, I asked where are Clark's Commandos? I noted that Dean had his Dean Dozen, would Kucinich do something similar? Today, I received an email pointing to Kucinich’s list of progressive Democratic candidates. Fourty-five people are on the list, including four who are also on Dean’s list.

Progressive Majority also has its list of candidates as do many local groups.

I have been trying to keep track of as many of these as possible at a site I started months ago. Initially, I was focusing on Dean inspired candidates. I’ve expanded the list to be good progressive candidates, and even moderates in the cases where they seem downright progressive when compared to their competition.

It is a good thing to see progressives organizing, supporting more candidates, and getting more people out running for office.
